Why Do Some Internet Users Type Every Word Capitalized Like This?

[Colon capital V]

Is This Some Dumb Feature On Their Phone That They Don't Know How To Turn Off Or Is This Just Kind Of An Autism Thing?

 

[KittyGremlin]

It's a barely passing middle school thing.

 

[eDove]

It's usually done by the people who don't know a thing about grammar when they're trying to appear professional.

 

[Testacles Maximus]

This is a thing people do? lol what a bunch of assholes

 

[RACISM]

Everyone who does this is a nigger.

 

[Two Dollars]

No idea, and I hate it. The only explanation I’ve ever gotten is that some phones autocorrect like that, which is 100% bullshit.

 

[Smug]

Writing Each Word With A Capital Letter Makes My Opinion Look Like A Book Title Which Helps To Mask My Insecurities And Make Me Feel Important.

Something like that, probably.

Apparently autism, which doesn't make any sense as it triggers mine.

It's a little puzzling, you'd think that if you're too lazy to learn how to construct semi-grammatically correct sentences, you would also be too lazy to capitalize every word you write.

Maybe they figure if you don't capitalize anything people call you dumb, so if you capitalize everything that must mean everyone will think you're smart..

I'm more interested...by the kind of people who type like this...and always like this...what's their deal...? Why would you do this...? It's really weird...

 

[Epic Fail Man]

We Used to Have Ipods and are Now Conditioned to Capatalize our Titles Like This.

 

[Jeff Q. Anime]

I'd say I mostly see children do it, but it could just be really, really, really stupid people and children.

That one I can understand because I used to be guilty of it myself. They’re trying to type how they talk, so to speak, so they attempt to translate spoken things like pauses into text.

I can understand it if someone uses it in dialogue text in a script or a story, but just like the "all words start with a capital letter" thing I just find it incredibly annoying outside of such context. I found myself loosing interest in what was written more than once when encountering those "styles".

 

[AbduluCthuluZulu]

If they refer to it as 'capitalism,' they're just trolls doing it to piss people off, which is what I see the most personally.
Otherwise they're just kids or weirdos trying to attract kids, probably.

I'd say I mostly see children do it, but it could just be really, really, really stupid people and children.

It's like when BOOMERS TYPE IN ALL CAPS. It mutated through subsequent generations into Everything Is A Title.

What do they say? I don't speak watermelon.

 

[timewave0]

Who would win? Guy Who Capitalizes Every Word In A Sentence vs guy who signals his ironic detachment by never using any capitalization or punctuation
