I AM SO SORRY ALL CAPS BOTHERS YOU, SO MUCH, SOME OF US ARE OLDER, AND THEREFORE THE EYES DON'T SEE AS WELL, ALL CAPS MAKES IT EASIER FOR ME TO READ. I APOLOGIZE FOR MY SELFISHNESS AND NOT CONSIDERING YOUR NEEDS AND DESIRES OVER MY OWN NECESSITIES. I GUESS I BETTER JUST PUT MY CONTACTS AND GLASSES ON...YES I WEAR BOTH AT THE SAME TIME!! I AM NOT SCREAMING BY THE WAY, JUST EMBARRASSED BY MY OWN SELFISH NEEDS.

I just hope ARKANSASNURSE is retired. It scares me to think a working nurse can't see very well...LOL. Please don't take any offense, Nurse. I'm just joshing.
I don't mind if someone writes in all caps. My mother can't see very well, so I understand. Do whatever you wish, ArkansasNurse. If people don't want to read all caps, they don't have to. Personally, it bothers me more that so many people can't spell or use proper tenses.

and I feel like I am a kid at home again and didn't make my bed.

My Mom too! This must be an older Mom thing. I keep telling her that it's like she's scolding the reader, and that we can change her display setting instead. It's no use. She has just enough technology knowledge to be dangerous. And its never a matter of her not knowing what she's doing. Oh no. The computer is broken, the web site doesn't work, her e-mail account is faulty (!) . . . sigh . . . but I love her even if she does DRIVE ME NUTS!

Arkansasnurse, it is indeed accepted internet convention that ALL CAPS IS SHOUTING. If you think you need all-caps in order to read something, that still doesn't mean that you need to WRITE in all-caps, since you already know what that text says!
If you're using Internet Explorer, you can go to the top menu, under "View" and "Text Zoom" and enlarge all the on-screen the text by whatever percentage you need/want.

snohflake, mine also blames the computer or the server!!

How many exclamation marks is enough? And for the record, all caps doesn't make it easier for me to read, esp. in a sans-serif font like the one I usually get in Fodors posts.
4-corners: A-minus. Spell it "grammar" and get a straight A!
For extra credit, know that "all caps" looks like a plural subject and might seem to take "are" rather than "is" for the verb. However, we'll let you squeak by because you have a good parallel in the next clause, and so maybe we'll mentally insert a hyphen ("all-caps") and create a new, singular noun naming a particular style.
I will now disappear back into my copy of Warriners.

(Looking very innocent, whistling), ok, I was a pretty good English student in high school. Grammar! Yeah!!
Allow me to modify, please make an attempt at relatively decent grammar. Ahh, ok, nice capitalization and paragraphs to break up the text.
