I recently received a SMS with a good combination of lowercase and uppercase letters in the text. What struck me is that the person is trying to convey his or her meaning/intention/depression/oppression/or none listed. The case is this, there is etiquette in everything that we do.
Ethically, if you were to uppercase your text, this is considered as blatantly shouting to the receiver. It mimics the physical action. Imagine if you were to write the whole text (25 paragraphs) in uppercase, I do believe the opera singer would love to learn your technique of shouting (in real life).
The fact is this, uppercase means shouting, and you are shouting throughout your email/SMS in case of full uppercase message. And shouting is not NICE...
We are ethical creature...we have process and procedure from the biggest of challenges to the smallest of tasks...and this align us to the methods that are governed ethics in fulfilling the task.
NETIQUETTE is method of communicating via virtual elements...and it compels us to be ethical in our SMS or email.
With that, i rest my CASE...it was a joke, ok :)
