Y’ALL ARE free to interpret my ALL CAPS as you see fit.

I’m quite familiar with the net convention that interprets such that way.

Personally, I don’t think folks can arbitrarily decide that they read my mind sufficiently to

KNOW ABSOLUTELY

that ALL CAPS

equals raised voice tone or
equals raised eyebrows or
equals raised volume or
equals slowed voice cadence or
equals speeded up voice cadence or
equals stacatto voice cadence or
equals fierce eyes with voice or
equals pleeding eyes with voice or
. . .
. . .
. . .

I don’t buy into the ARBITRARY net convention that

DECREES that ALL CAPS CAN ONLY = raised volume.

Oy, that’s fair, I guess.

You spell correctly, and that’s worth a lot!

I always appreciate a good white hankie post, Quix. No idea what it means, but it’s amusing.

So - do you at least shower regularly? Some say that practice is an ARBITRARY CONVENTION
