I'm up to the fifth of the seven deadly sins. The previous four haven't been so bad; in fact, I've even turned them into virtues.
Not this one. No sirree. How would I type when I was angry?
LIKE THIS. I WOULD LEAVE MY *&^%ING CAPS LOCK KEY ON AND TYPE IN UPPERCASE. WHEN I TYPE LIKE THIS, I FEEL LIKE I'M SHOUTING. IT'S HARD TO READ TEXT THAT'S WRITTEN LIKE THIS, AND IT MAKES THE AUTHOR LOOK LIKE A MORON. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GO TO BOLD FONT, MAKE THE TEXT A BRIGHT RED, AND ADD A SERIES OF COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which is why I've reverted to lower case, non-bold, sane writing. Honestly, would you buy from someone who really wrote like that? Me neither. So why do so many people do it -- especially the exclamation marks?!
The the very worst example I've seen is someone who wrote out his top ten or eleven values on his business card in upper case. Partly it was the care factor: if you value spending time with your family, that's nice, but irrelevant to me. Just give me your card, if you have something I want, I'll be in touch, thank you. Secondly, it just about gave me eye strain to look at. And of course, you want people to read what you're writing.
All this bad upper case / bold font / exclamation mark writing is making me angry. And that anger, of course, is a virtue. ];-)
