So you can't yell at people by using all caps. Same result if you try to type something like **** in all caps.


WTH? Now it let me use all caps. Usually it's automatically edited to read "****."

Suicide shifter was the "stick-shift" on my old banana seat Schwinn. One wrong move and you'd be feeling the pain for days...if not forever.
