writing style

[PineappleDanish]

Why do HARRY and MEGHAN write their INSTAGRAM posts with this WEIRD mix of words in block CAPITALS and others in standard script? It's very ODD.

No comment.

I go away for one evening and you all disappear??

One evening??? I go away for two hours and everyone is gone

Its only on their picture style posts, not the comments.
It is also consistent on those types of posts, all the same format with he same colours, etc. It also isn't random words - it is key words being picked out for emphasis. It is just a style of presenting their key messages.

What is more strange is why people constantly try to find fault with every tin thing this couple do. Now its even the way they type!

My distractor thread has gone! Must say, haven’t noticed the different fonts and capitalizations; only the content (I’ve never actually been on their Instagram. I’m only judging from snippets of writing reprinted in the media).

I don't see the point of the Instagram posts (and this will apply to others in the RF as well).
They're quite clearly written by a third party - certainly not by Harry anyway, if the Americanisms are anything to go by - so why would we be "uplifted" by what some random team member writes on their behalf? I wonder if they've even read them themselves.

I don't know and I don't care.

She didn't really bother me until she shutdown London for her wedding and then decided that actually being royal was a faff. What did she actually think was going yo happen?

Of course they are written by someone else who is paid to do it. The level of sincerity is minute.

I believe MM writes the Instagram posts, or at least, the recent ones.

I’ve just come on MN for the first time this morning and have seen the other thread’s gone. Was it a particularly lively morning?

To answer the OP, I’m not sure why they write posts like that but it’s not a style I care for.

(name change in solidarity) Are we allowed to talk about the deleted thread?

I was lurking & read everything (CV distraction!) and for the most part there was nothing particularly outrageous there. (A few close to the bone comments but they were removed. No need to shut down the whole thread.) It seems that people have reported and reported because they are fans of the LA ROYALS and think no one should say anything UNKIND.

Given their behaviour, I think the (un)royal duo DESERVE all the criticism, flack and MOCKERY they get. We PEASANTS have been using mockery as a way to RISE UP and challenging those who think they are some higher form of being long before t'internet.

(Admittedly, I'd probably have been sat front row at the guillotine with my knitting...)

Well, I read everything up to last night - maybe it did kick off this morning!

How strange. So we have no idea why the thread was pulled?

No, I read it right up until they warned they were taking it down and there was nothing much happening.

Nope nothing happened. They just came on and pulled it

Very odd.

Who’s starting a new one then?

There are some penguins on www.mumsnet.com/Talk/the_royal_family/3803893-H-M-and-doctors-cats-dinners-and-gin.

I also read it until shortly before it all went tits up. It was nothing out of the ordinary at all, then I nipped to the corner shop (15 minutes max) and POOF it was gone.

On the plus side I managed to get eggs for the first time in quite a few days.

Curiouser and curiouser. And I’m not talking about being able to get eggs. Although well done for that.

About the capitals thing - it always seemed to me to be a tactic to try and distract people from the actual substance of the message.

If your message is strong & clear, there shouldn't be lots of unnecessary words and you shouldn't need to shout to highlight the important ones.

That's my issue with the duo though - two people who lack substance being all shouty and demanding we listen to them.

The POINT of this is to give EMPHASIS to CERTAIN WORDS whilst DISGUISING the BANALITY of the general CONTENT.

Fleas

It’s also arguably to LOOK IMPORTANT.

I can't see H or MM letting someone else decide the content of their IG. It would be completely out of character, given how much control they have, or seek to have, over what appears about them in the media.

OK - who did the unmentionable that got the thread pulled? I only left for twenty minutes to do some work. Is it back to discussing frocks (or, Froqs), and fascinators? Would you like a cape with that, Madam?

Barley check your PMs.

I have a bit of intel. Have PM’d a few people who might be interested.
