I think OP should have put STABBED in capitals rather than HIM. Well placed capitals can be acceptable

As an aside, I discovered an amazing thing the other day. If you have a load of text typed out in capitals in Word, highlight it, and then press shift and F3, it changes it all to lower case. Do it again and it changes the first letter of each sentence to capitals only. Brilliant.

You're talking about me aren't you? I will make a conserted effort to bold and italic stuff instead just for you

I only use caps by accident, i type on a lptop and it's realy easy to hit. Then i have to delete and re-type, or post it as it is.

so, if there are capitals in any of my posts, probably no-on eis more annoyed abou tit than me.

I appreciate that gaga

I don't mind whole words in capitals. I get that they are there for emphasis or by mistake. The ones I find odd are the ones with capitalised first Letters of seemingly randomly Chosen Words. It Is very Odd. Someone has deliberately chosen to do that and I don't understand why.

See this is how it SHOULD be done.
