My pet Internet peeve

OK, a few quick question as to why people that fill out on-line order forms using all lowercase.

1) They don't know where the shift key is?
2) Just plain laziness and willing to admit it?
3) Don't know what a capitol letter is?
4) They know how annoying it is and just enjoy the thrill of the annoyance?
5) They think it is cool?
6) They are a genius and just want to look stupid for their non-genius friends?
7) All the above?

Please exchange the "They" for "You" if the shoe fits !

If criticism annoys you then my work is done

i agree that is pretty annoying. i assume you process these forms for your business. can you change the web forms to capitalize first letters as necessary before processing. most stuff I put on forms is usually made up if it is for some kind of registration.

[Rekd]

x2 Jimbo. Make your forms either reject or fix formatting. Case closed.

HEY KEN:
I GUESS THE SAME APPLIES TO USE OF THE SHOUTING UPPER CASE AS WELL?
Tounge-in-cheek Cheers - Jim

[sendkeys]

maybe its because they are already giving you money and if you said anything about it they goto someone else? hehe

so basicly i say #2 with little "what does it matter anyway" hehe

[Bubba]

On the other hand MY PET is those that think that everything should be written
IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND IGNORE LOWER CASE ENTIRELY!

I find this lazyness particulary amongst data entry people and some draftsman. The first thing they do is hit the caps lock key and type away

It does not matter sendkeys, I was sitting here bored out of my mind this afternoon and was hoping to stir up a little emotion for some excitement, gees, no one even wants to argue anymore

I understand now High Seas, they are just soft spoken.

There is a Bible quote where Jesus says " Be careful about trying to remove the splinter from your brothers eye, when there is a LOG in your own".



There go Ken, is that argumentative enough for you?

EDIT: Hey Ken if you wanted something to do, you could always make a post in the FAQ section.

Benny,
I first did cast the beam out of my own eye, then I was able to see clearly thine log in my brothers eye.

I will tell you Benny, I have yet to be able to find that FAQ forum since your first post.
