I agree with Alton and Gilly, that ALL CAPS is harder to read. It does not
annoy me that people do it, cause I really don't think it is there intention
to be shouting, but rather they think it may be easier to read when in fact
it is just the opposite. I thought it was just me that finds ALL CAPS
harder to read, so I guess I am happy to know that it is also more difficult
for others as well. I can read a letter written in llower case font much
faster than I can one written in all caps.

I agree Alton. I have Fuchs Dystrophy and before I had corneal
transplants, I would not have been able to see that there was anything on
the "page" unless it was in large bold fonts but capitals just make it all
a bit harder.
I think that if we all used a minimum of size 12 and bold, it would be
easier for the very many of us who suffer with eyesight problems.
It takes just two clicks of your mouse to do this.

Please use lower case in your notes. Upper case, i.e.,all caps, is best
used only for emphasis and for shouting.
I'm not being the note police here - just repeating a rule I first
learned in the '70's or early '80's.
Alton, who finds shouting very hard to read
I might add that some fonts and all notes in tiny type are hard for old
eyes to read.
