ToGGLeCaSe

I didn't want to hijack the "Colors" thread, so I was just curious as to what y'all thought about ToGGLeCaSe...y0u Kn0w, TyPiNG LiKe ThIs.

I'll admit, when I first started playing around on the 'net wayyyy back when AOL was in version 2.0 I used to type in togglecase...as a friggin' 15-16 year old! I thought I was so cool. And then as years passed by and I started learning the odds and ends of 'netiquette, I learned that togglecase was frowned upon because it's "juvenile" and it was looked down on. Most of the time people won't take your content seriously aLL BeCaUsE y0U'Re TyPiNg LyK ThIs...

If it's improper to TYPE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT INDICATES THAT YOU'RE SHOUTING, then I think togglecase should be considered improper too, not really for the juvenile factor, but because it's a friggin' eyesore. There's nothing cute about it, really.

But that's just what I think. Don't flame me for being honest.

I understand that typing in tOgGlE is common in some Asian American communities. I don't think it's all that big in Canada though.

I've never typed in togglecase for the reason that it is hard on the eyes. But I tend to get easily irritated by those that do use togglecase. I think its incredibly stupid.

I always found it irritating as it is a pain to read as well as juvenile. It must make typing a chore.

[IowaStatePhiPsi]

it's people holding on to a shitty fad from the rave scene of the late 90's.

(IMO)

I never knew that was called togglecase. I just called it "annoying middleschooler type"

I didn't know about the all caps being shouting, either. That's pretty interesting!

I really can't take anything seriously if it's written that way and it's annoying to even read it.

oh that was fun to type.

[kddani]

I always think people who use togglecase have some sort of seizure disorder in their little fingers that makes them hit the shift key too often. I really can't take anyone seriously or view them as an even semi-educated individual if they write that way.

[smiley21]

i think people who type that way have too much time on their hands

like, shut up you guys, it's cool like whoa

[ISUKappa]

I keep thinking that maybe, if I read just the uppercase or just the lowercase and rearrange the letters using my Little Orphan Annie decoder ring, it'll spell out something cool, like who's going to win the World Series.
