Otto, with one hand full of mascara, bobby pins and coffee mugs, the other grasping her cell phone, car keys, scarf and Uzi (Uzi?!) was heard to mumble past the straps of her oversized purse that she holds clenched in her teeth, “Sorry, folks! I'm running a bit late (again)! Hope all is well and you all have a wonderful week. Thanks for playing Monday Madness. The following 2 questions come from our friend, tricia... Thanks, Tricia, and thanks for the idea!”
1. Do you ever use all caps when typing online messages? Only if I accidentally hit the CAPS LOCK key.
2. Does it bother you when other people use all caps in their messages? Yes, particularly if I take the time to explain how and why it appears rude and crude, yet they persist in the offending behavior. Then its time for the introduction of more persuasive measures. Where's my baseball bat?
3. Do you use abbreviations (i.e. lol, brb, etc.) when typing email messages or text messages? Yes, I do. Your point?
4. Do you ever receive faxes or other correspondence from a professional office that are typed in all caps? If so, what do you think of that? On occasion that happens. It's a pretty good indication the sender is either clueless or a retired teletype operator.
5. Do you rely on the computer program to catch your typing errors, or do you proofread your material before sending it out? I find it necessary to both run a spell check and proofread everything leaving my computer and still an error or too sneaks by. Damnit all.
