Okay well if you had ever met some of these all-caps people in person, you would understand that some of us ACTUALLY TALK LIKE THIS WHEN WE GET REALLY WORKED UP IN OUR OBSESSION WITH ALL THINGS SNARKY OR FUCKTARDED.

That is all.
–steps down off soap box, kicks box into gutter, stomps off–

Based solely on this inspired defense of ALL CAPS writing, I hereby decree that all overeducated people, and all nymphos, are allowed to use ALL CAPS if they want to.

Determining the applicability of this exemption will remain the purview of the management.

I am a horrible speller, this works well as spell check is everywhere. Obvious grammar errors bother me (ie they’re there their) But when I am writing, and I cannot figure out a way to NOT end a sentence with a preposition, I usually say eff it.

“using all caps will make me loath you”

LoathE you. Loathe. The verb is loathe, just as the verb is breathe. You are loath to do something; you loathe something. Just saying.

You are, of course, completely correct. I’m leaving the mistake in there, as I find the post MUCH funnier with the grammatical “issue” than without.

Also, although I do not dispute the awesomeness of the correcting graffiti-er, I find it sort of appropriate to misspell anarchy. It’s anarchic!

Hah! That reminded me so much of my wife that I had to email her the link.
