Why do people write in CAPS?

category: general [glöplog]
I know that it sounds like yelling, I know that it is like they want attention or they want to make a point or something. I think.

But I don't know the impulse.
I mean, does it have to do with something in the brain?
I wanted to ask someone who writes all in caps, why is he doing it? Not to blame it but to understand what they were thinking when writting in caps? What is their motivation to write in caps? What compells them?

One Day My Brother Send Me An Email, With A New Form Of Writting, He Was Writting In Caps Only The First Letter Of Each Word. When I asked him why, just out of curiosity, he couldn't answer. Just because. It's fun..

I try here to understand the main reasons/motivations, not to blame anyone.

maybe they're like ZX81 and really are all happy and nice (though a bit slow). When they go mad, they switch to inverse video...

It's because computers in movies only support capitals

EAGLE: DO YOU HAVE THE INFORMATION?
AMOS: YES, LET ME TRANSFER IT.

Yeah, that's exactly how it is, and in movies you'll always see a pretty good looking hacker who lives in a spacey penthouse apartment, and when he sits down at the computer he writes like a retard.

For exactly the same reason you open tons of pointless threads on Pouet.
