INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY

October 25, 2008 at 10:19 am (Writers who blog, bwahaha, competition, computers, culture, half term, lunacy, why the internet is pants)

i only just heard about this little shard of lunacy. have i missed it?

and whose crrrrraaaaazzzzzyyyyy idea is this anyway?

anyone who’s been lucky enough (hemhem) to get an email or even a comment from me will know that i eschew caps wherever possible. it’s not that i think i’m ee cummings or anything, it’s just that caps always seem so shouty – and i don’t like shouty. i get enough of shouty at home, thank you very much.

so if it’s international caps lock day today, should i just slink away? or should i carry on with my beloved unassuming l/c, confident in the knowledge that everyone else will be shouting too loud to hear me? xx

(i’m not always this slow off the mark, btw. i was right up there on ‘talk like a pirate’ day – aaaarrrr.)

    perhaps it’s a case of, if you aren’t prepared to shout it, then don’t say it at all?

    Caps seem to fit in the new book, though – a stunning opening!

    No, no you misunderstood.

    It’s related to International Wear a Hat Day. It’s the day when you have to keep your cap locked to your locks, geddit?
