Why is writing continuously in capital letters in an online message considered inappropriate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It can create the impression of shouting or a harsh tone.
In online communication, readers cannot hear the writer’s voice, so visual conventions help suggest tone. A message written entirely in capitals is commonly read as shouting, anger, or excessive emphasis. It does not correct spelling and may make long text harder, not easier, to read.
