When addressing the issue of all capitals in online forms, it is important to know that the rules are not universal. Some online forms may ask specifically for responses in all capitals, for reasons that will be discussed later. In general, however, the practice of using all capitals in online communications is discouraged for both technical and social reasons, such as readability and the perceptions of the recipient. Certain online forms may also be case- sensitive, which means any capitals typed during the creation of a password or email address must remain capitals later.

One of the main reasons why the use of all capitals is discouraged is social in nature. It is difficult to convey emotions or irony or sarcasm in most electronic communications, so many emailers and chatroom participants use all capitals to express anger or other strong emotions. THE EFFECT OF ALL CAPITALS IS THE APPEARANCE OF SHOUTING, which may not be the sentiment you wish to convey at all. Other typographical effects, such as emoticons, can convey more subtle emotions, but the use of all capitals is perceived as far from subtle.

Another reason many online form users dislike all capitals is general readability. Early computer programs had difficulty recognizing lower case letters, so the use of all capitals was the norm. As more advanced word processing programs became available, fewer computer users felt the need to use all capitals in their electronic communications. Some online forms still request responses in all capitals, but often only when the responses are relatively short and the recipients seek a level playing field without improper lower or upper case typos affecting their decisions.

Lengthy passages written in all capitals can very difficult to read. EVEN A SIMPLE EXPLANATION OF WHY USING ALL CAPITAL LETTERS IS NOT ADVISABLE CAN QUICKLY TURN INTO A BLUR OF LETTERS OVER TIME. Ahem. Capitals do have their place in electronic communications, especially as headers and titles, but most readers prefer to see electronic text as a form of typewritten material, with familiar upper and lower case fonts. The use of all capitals can negatively affect a reader's reading speed or an editor's proofreading ability.

In short, writing in all capitals should only be used to express very strong emotion or in response to short online form queries. Be sure to check the website's rules concerning the use of all capitals before submitting your information electronically.
