Thread Name: BS: CAPSLOCK PURGATIVE!
Subject: RE: BS: CAPSLOCK PURGATIVE!
Conventions are made for people, because adhering to the conventions makes the whole of society work more smoothly.

But rather than argue with the "I HAVE A RIGHT TO BE RUDE" contingent, I'd like to point out that most newer word processors, if you look into the "preferences" and "tools" settings, will allow you to set your WP up so that it will automatically shift doubled caps at the beginning of a sentence back to "conventional" form, and will automatically turn the CAPS LOCK off.

Being a conventional person, I'll apologize now for any offense taken with my first comments.

Sorry.
