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.

    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...
