instead, they write
like this.
unless they’re
making a point about style,
something seems
amiss.
SOME PEOPLE WRITE
WITH ALL CAPS.
IT LOOKS AS THOUGH
THEY’RE YELLING.
IT DOESN’T WORK WITH
CURSIVE WRITING
AND ISN’T VERY
COMPELLING.
The Germans
capitalize all Nouns.
That is just the
Rule.
But if you don’t
know a Noun from a Verb,
Your Writing won't
look cool.
Some languages don’t
have caps--
The
Chinese (中文) language for one.
But learning
thousands of characters
Is more work than
fun.
Maybe you want to
emphasize
A certain word. If
so,
Try using ALL CAPS
there:
THIS is the way to
go.
In poems we often
capitalize
Initial words in
lines.
And there’s a lot of
leeway when
It comes to making
signs.
(The president’s use
of capitals
Is strangely
inconsistent,
As though his
knowledge of capitalization
Rules is
nonexistent.)
Using caps in
different ways
Is rising in
popularity.
Whatever the case, remember that
The key word is
CLARITY.
