ALL CAPS

[Guest guest]

IT ISN'T A MATTER OF NOT SEEING THE CAPS BETTER, AS NOT COMPREHENDING THEM.

I ONLY MENTIONED IT BECAUSE TROUBLE READING THE ALL CAPS IS A LEGITIMATE

FRUSTRATION FOR SOME PEOPLE. THERE ARE LIKELY THOSE IN THE GROUP WITH

COGNITIVE OR READING DISORDERS, AND MANY ARE EMBARASSED TOO MENTION THEM

(USUALLY DUE TO NEGATIVE PERSONAL EXPERIENCES) OR MAY NOT EVEN REALIZE THEY

HAVE THEM.

I HAVE SLIGHT DYSLEXIA (ALSO CALLED 'DEVELOPMENTAL READING DISORDER') AND TO

ME THE ALL CAPS SEEM LIKE A FOREIGN LANGUAGE AND ARE MORE EASILY INVERTED

TO ME. (BETSY-DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME, I HAVE WORD PERFECT AND MS WORD AND CAN

CONVERT THE TEXT.)

I AM WORRIED ABOUT THOSE IN THE GROUP WHO DON'T HAVE A WORD PROCESSOR TO

CONVERT THE TEXT. I TRIED LOOKING FOR AN ONLINE TEXT CONVERTER, BUT NO LUCK.

SORRY.

IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE CAPS, LET US KNOW. I AM SURE WE

CAN FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. OK

I am worried about those in the group who don't have a word processor to

convert the text. I tried looking for an online text converter, but no luck.
