And people know what typing in CAPS means.
Fair point. I know that typing in capitals means someone is trying to add urgency or importance to a message whereas in reality all it does it make the text more difficult to read as the words lose their defining "shape" (a key factor in reading, as well as the actual letters in use) and all just look like rectangles.
You need to understand that the brain (well....a normal one) recognises words by the shape formed by the collection of letters so instead of the brain looking at a word and saying "Ah....D - E - C - K - I - N - G........decking, got it", the brain actually looks at the whole word, and subconsciously relates the shape formed by the collection of letters laid out as "Decking" to the meaning of the word"
CLEVER CHAP LIKE YOU KNOWS THAT THOUGH, RIGHT?

You are right Bob. I had not idea at all what " iF ANYONE KNOWS WHO BORIS IS ON BLATCHAT..." meant. I actually missed it when I looked at it first time round.
