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

I find it aggravating and obnoxious.

@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.
