Re: No, and no
I would not have considered the word "jerk" much less called you one, even in my own mind, if you had not added those sentences.I do not believe that shouting in public and typing with the caplock on (even though now, as you have educated me, it is equated as shouting in Cyberland) are comparable, but I do understand what you mean when you say (paraphrase in my words) "Just seeing all caps sounds like someone shouting down my face!". There have been times when I have listened to someone speak and some time later if I pick up a book the person has written, I can hear them speaking to me as if they were right before me. What is a punctuation pet? Is it like your pet peeve?
