I wondered if this is maybe what had happened. I’ve almost done the same myself.

There are a few that will take over the chat about the supposed “YELLING” instead of taking the information given as just an error. “IF ONE GOES THRU THE TROUBLE TO DO THIS” instead of a all caps message I would say then they are yelling and giving all heck. Do you consider notes on drawings as yelling?
If I only had the privileges to fix the two, to, too errors.
I haven’t seen it here, but I am annoyed by people who don’t know the difference between reign and rein.

No I don’t. But on the other hand we don’t use all caps for in house drawing notes.
Did I miss another update to the ANSI standards?
There are accepted practices for drawings. There are also accepted practices for forums. One has nothing to do with the other.

No I don’t think that you missed any updates. 
it’s just a title, no need to make a big deal of it. Some people use all caps in their writing.
When I was still a student in UCSD back in the 90s, one of my professors, can’t recall his name, I think his last name “Benson”, used all “CAPS” for writing on board. I don’t think he tried to yell at us.
By the way, I use all caps for notes in 2D dwg. Does anybody here do the same?

Handrwiting, whether on the board or otherwise, is different from typing. My handwriting is usually all caps, a remnant of manually writing on drawings. And, of course, everyone should use all caps in drawings. But I don’t type all caps anywhere else.

I use all caps when I want to make things clear in a hand written message. If I’m writing something that needs specification of Capitals or not, I write them as capital letters and underscore them to avoid a future misinterpretation that could occur on my end or someone else’s.
My “nitpicking” is people who try to have style rather then be clear in their writing. Deforming letters such as r or s, or simply people who use a mix of cursive letters and regular letters.
But then again I’m a bit O.C.D.

I can always tell when I switch from drawings to regular typing. iT STARTS OUT with a lower case in front of the caps. I typically catch it and fix it in the first couple of words, but definitely, a sign of what I was working on.
