What do you think when people type certain words in capitals?

I find it aggravating and obnoxious.

Like random capitalization? It weirds me out, I don't understand why they do it. It always reads like someone putting random emphasis on words for no apparent reason.

@Flipflopgal: Oh boy, are the internet police gonna come get me? I can say whatever the fuck I want to say. And you don't have to read it, or if it [i]really[/i] bothers you then you can go ahead and block. It's real easy and, believe it or not, I won't be offended by it in the slightest. In fact I'd be quite amused. Thicker skin would benefit you greatly.

@Paleandpolluted86: I'm kidding, of course. Sometimes, people do it just for [i]emphasis[/i], although [b]especially[/b] on SW we have that in the editor. It's still easier to hit the shift or caps, usually. Nevertheless, the normal convention is for the brain to interpret that as equivalent to shouting. I was trying to find a reference, but the common impression seems to be that people who do the alternating-case excessively tend to be afflicted by paranoid schizophrenia or something similar (Unless doing it just to be an ass). I guess the words mean something specific to them, and they want to show they're in on their game.
