Caps lock, no exceptions. I tried to use shift to type this, but no. It feels weird....

It depends. If THE PHRASE THAT I'M TYPING IS LONGER, LIKE THIS, I'll use the caps lock. If it's only one word, then I'll use the shift button.

I use Shift, even when I want to cruise control.

This becomes problematic because when I do
NEWGROUNDS IS TOM FULP"S I always do the " rather then the '


How did this get here? I am not good with internet.

I was taught the caps lock key, but every internet nerd uses the shift key, like myself.. I adapted.

If it's just to capitalize one letter, I use the Shift key. I use the caps lock key if I have to capitalize entire phrases.

I use the shift key, because my fingers bend weirdly and it's easier. Also my caps lock key is busted.

Why do I get the feeling that the ppl saying that they use the caps lock key are like 12 years old... and they use one finger to type an entire sentence?

Shift, duh. I just don't see the point in doing Caps Lock twice for a capital instead of shift once. Plus, there's always the possibility that you'll forget to turn it off AND WRITE IN ALL CAPS.

I used to just tap caps lock instead of shift, but now I ALWAYS use shift-key, no matter how long I'm typing in caps.

I only use shift when I have to capitalize one or two words only. If I'm saying something like, "OMFG WERE ALL GONNA DIE 2 YEARS TILL 2012," then yes, I will use caps.

I've always used caps lock, so now I use it without even thinking. Shift is waay to slow for me because I'm not used to it. Even though in comp. lit. we're tought to use the Shift Key, I tried that for a while but yea too slow.

I hold down shift, even if it's a really long portion of all caps text.
Caps lock feels weird.

I type easily with the shift key, caps lock takes way too long.

If it's in normal writing I use shift. If I'm going to write in caps for a while then I use caps lock. Using caps lock for normal punctuation is just silly. I'd rather save time and hold down shift.
