I used to use caps lock until quite recently. I was pretty much 'what is this shift button you speak of >| ew it's nasty' but then I got used to it.
 
I never use caps lock. At all. If I'm typing angrily in all-caps, it's a lot more satisfying and stress-relieving to be holding down shift the whole time.

YES IT REALLY IS AND I HATE ALL YOU CAPS LOCK USERS WHO CANNOT SEEM TO REALIZE WHAT AN AWESOME KEY SHIFT IS.
 
Shift is awesome.
I use it. loads of over people use it. SO USE IT! (see I used shift there)
(And this is the first post i've never done this>...)
 
Shift when typing normal sentences with normal capitalization. When doing short ALL CAPS THINGS I'll use Shift still unless it's A REALLY REALLY REALLY LONG SENTENCE WITH LOTS OF CAPITALS THAT IS TIME-CONSUMING AND STUFF TO WRITE. Also Caps Lock when writing something such as a Mystery Dungeon password or something else that varies between caps letters and numbers so that I don't end up typing * instead of 8 or something.

Actually used Caps Lock until fairly recently. Nice to know I'm not the only one who uses/did use Caps Lock. xP

I totally knew the moment I saw "Butterfree" in the Members who have read this thread-thing, that she would say the thing I was going to say.


If I write in capitals, I'm writing angry (or possibly mad). If I'm writing angry, I'm probably angry (or mad). You vent better by squeezing something till it can't breath anymore. Right?
 
Either, I don't care.

IF I'M TYPING LIKE THIS USUALLY CAPSLOCK BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I'M REALLY MAD/SAD/UPSET, SHIFT.

I always use if I'm typing like this.
 
Either one. If I'm typing something long then definitely Caps Lock, and if not then whatever I feel like.

QFT.

BESIDES I HATE CAPS LOCK. I always forget when it's on and besides, it's a force of habit when I type because I never even was aware there was a caps lock until fifth grade when we learn'd to type good. (I still don't type properly, I have a memorized hunt and peck system. Why do I have to move just my fingers?!
unproper way is more exercise. :B)

I really learned to type from my dad who never mentioned the caps lock so I pretty much ignored it.

Also: Caps lock may be the cruise control for cool, but you still have to drive.
