Modest Proposal: swear jar for capital letter abuse

Unless you’re GAIVSIVLIVSCAESAR, you’ve probably heard of the “little letters” and maybe even used them from time to time.

I propose a “swear jar” for forum topics that consist entirely of all caps, or bleed off into all caps, like the text version of a Sam Kinison routine.

This is for charity, of course.

I recommend The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too

    Zoolander is such a good movie and I'm surprised to see a reference to it here lol.

    Also yes. I'm pretty sure it's against forum rules to have tiltes in all caps, too, so it's a double offense.
    Character List [RP and PvE]:
    Stands-Against-Death: Argonian Magplar Healer - Crafter
    Krisiel: Redguard Stamsorc DPS - Literally crazy Werewolf, no like legit insane. She nuts
    Kiju Veran: Khajiit Stamblade DPS - Ex-Fighters Guild Suthay who likes to punch things, nicknamed Tinykat
    Niralae Elsinal: Altmer Stamsorc DPS - Young Altmer with way too much Magicka
    Sarah Lacroix: Breton Magsorc DPS - Fledgling Vampire who drinks too much water
    Slondor: Nord Tankblade - TESified verson of Slenderman
    Marius Vastino: Imperial <insert role here> - Sarah's apathetic sire who likes to monologue
    Delthor Rellenar: Dunmer Magknight DPS - Sarah's ex who's a certified psychopath
    Lirawyn Calatare: Altmer Magplar Healer - Traveling performer and bard who's 101% vanilla bean
    Gondryn Beldeau: Breton Tankplar - Sarah's Mages Guild mentor and certified badass old person
    Gwendolyn Jenelle: Breton Magplar Healer - Friendly healer with a coffee addiction
    Soliril Larethian- Altmer Magblade DPS - Blind alchemist who uses animals to see and brews plagues in his spare time
    Tevril Rallenar: Dunmer Stamcro DPS - Delthor's "special" younger brother who raises small animals as friends
    Celeroth Calatare: Bosmer <insert role here> - Shapeshifting Bosmer with enough sass to fill Valenwood

    What's more annoying is when you don't capitalize the first letter of all your principal words. Or worse, you do that, and also uppercase the first letter of your repositions, articles, and conjunctions.

    *stares at OP's title*

    Which btw, using all caps on a full title is still far more correct then doing that. So can we add that to the jar as well?

    * for those of you who don’t get absurdist humor, let me clarify:

    Captain and Tennille go to Skyrim. They end up fighting Alduin. The graybeards say, only a dragon born can fight him. The captain says, great, my last name is Dragon, so technically I am. Alduin roasts him to just ash. Poor Tennille asks, what went wrong?

    Alduin says, oh, he was actually a petty officer third class all along.

    Moral of the story:

    LOVE WON’T KEEP US TOGETHER

    I'm wondering if maybe we should have a "lay-off-the-mead jar" instead...
