>> I don’t see too well so I like caps <<

And a lot of us old timers grew up with telex and teletype machines, which had ONLY upper case letters — due to the limitations of five-bit codes like Baudot.

Therefore, back in the good ole days we didn’t need to bother about using the “shift” key for generating lower-case letters.

So maybe the complainers oughta give us a break, because it’s sometimes hard for us to kick the ALL-CAPS habit.
