Sometimes, people use all capital letters when they're texting because it feels like they're shouting. Imagine you’re playing a game of tag, if someone yells at you, it makes the moment more exciting and noticeable. Using capitals is kind of like yelling in your text message. It can show how someone is feeling, whether they're happy, angry, or just trying to be extra loud.
Examples
- When your friend texts you I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT, it feels like they're shouting in your face.
- Your mom texts you DON’T FORGET TO DO YOUR HOMESWORK, and now you know she’s really mad.
- You text YES YES YES YES when you’re super excited about something.
