I know, it's annoying when you see people texting on the bus IN CAPITALS. do they always SHOUT at their friends???

Frenchgirl · 23/09/2004 18:03

well I can;t text to save my life and am stuck in capitals when I have to, simply because am too thick to change capitals into normal letters.... and I hate unnecessary capitals

Perhaps some people just don't realise?

Forestfly · 23/09/2004 18:09

Thomcat · 23/09/2004 18:11

I know what you mean. i put a word in CAPS if I want to stress something as no use of Italics on mumsnet (ps that's not a complaint tech!)

Bunglie · 23/09/2004 18:13

sorry twiglett

TC makes a good point.
Tech, since your 'upgrade' why can't we have some nicer emoticons, (the wink looks like a perv!) and italics would be good.....

Does anybody else do what I do and put lots of .........(dots) ????

libb · 23/09/2004 18:26

I don't do as many as you but I do do dots !!

SoupDragon · 23/09/2004 18:27

The pervy wink has gone, Bunglie

SoupDragon · 23/09/2004 18:28

Oh, and I use asterisks as a substitute for italics... and lots of dots...

marthamoo · 23/09/2004 18:39

I WANT SOME ITALICS THEN!!!!!

emmatmg · 23/09/2004 18:45

I do lots of...........

I did use capitals to tell you all about my lottery win as I was shouting.

Bunglie · 23/09/2004 18:50

Marthermoo....
You should know that shouting will get you nowhere.....(more dots!)
Ask nicely and "I WANT DOESN'T GET"

marthamoo · 23/09/2004 18:54

BUT I REALLY REALLY WANT THEM!!!!!NOW!!!!!GIVE ME THEM NOW!!!! (my almost three year old ds knows it doesn't work either but it doesn't stop him having a good go..I'll take a leaf out of his book!)
