Make me slightly uncomfortable. What do you want all that attention for? Why are you screaming your own name? Are you having an identity crisis?
I thought it looked formal and trademarky ?
Never has all caps looked formal, has it?
Business systems from the 80s used to automatically convert everything name related to caps. It made it easier to do string matching which was generally case sensitive in the DB. It also made data entry easier as you just turn capslock on and type.
No so much formal as lazy semi-formal.
Don't all the things like lawyers, teachers, companies etc have theirs in caps ?
Short answer: no.
Looong one ? Also i remember you from somewhere else do you have an alt or DID or somethin ?
I'm all over the Fediverse under this name and also @TeaHands@lemmy.world so could be either tbh. I did a lot of tech support in the early days of the big migration here :D
Ha so i am not crazy haha
Well not for that reason anyway
I donβt see why anyone would use all caps
My CPA writes all his emails in all caps. Kind of annoying really.
