Altcaps

Tools of the trade. They are noticably worn from excessive use.

A style of typing in which letters are capitalized nontraditionally, usually according to a pattern. Users may capitalize every other letter, only vowels or only consonants, or random letters. Most frequently seen in the journals of 16 year old girls using AOL or aZns. ReMeMbEr: AlT CaPs Is AlTeRNaTiVe To AwEsOmE!1! AlLcApS Is FoR FaGgOtS!!!1

german Style where you capitalize the first Letter of any Noun but no other Letters, even those that are proper Adjectives.

It's both sensible and eurofag.

Simply THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST!!

Also, don't forget NOT TO CAPITALIZE THE FIRST LETTER IN EVERY FUCKING WORD. If you do, people who don't have a fascination with the shift key will shit on your spaghetti and call you Shirley.

Awesome powah. Especially when you realize that using the ; and : forms as we have done has fucked up the formatting on this artical.

Altcaps was known as "Psycho Chicken" in the pre-internets days when dinosaurs still roamed.
