This isn't lingo, but it kind of goes along with it, and I didn't want to start a whole new thread for this one little thing. It's more of an etiquette thing. I know that a lot of our members are new to message boards as well. So I thought that this might help.

Typing in ALL CAPS is considered yelling and can be taken as offensive.

That's all... thanks :D

Twilighter Caps is ok in instances like emphasizing a word BUT IF YOU TYPE A WHOLE SENTENCE LIKE THIS it could be considered yelling by the person who you type it to :lol: For a phrase "these are good"... :D

Plus if you type in all caps it is a red flag to the Volturi Moms that you are a teenager :shock: . Also don't call Edward anything but Edward! :evil: No Ed, Edd, or Eddie! See the thread under Just Whatever! :wink:
