How often have we seen headlines most on AOL News (it isn't; often two days after an event they get on it) where "Internet Goes Wild" or "Internet Raves about" etc. Hysterical headlines. If you believed these headlines, one would almost have to conclude that many if not all internet users are in a perpetual state of shock and awe. The Mom's Basement Dwellers are no doubt pacing up and down, wringing their pizza and Coke laden hands.
One of the most famous Twitter Tweeters is the President of our United Sates. Many argue that by issuing his own remarks, it's the only way he can make sure what he's saying is accurately reported.
Now Trump critics (their number is Legion) have something new to stand their hair on end. Trump twittered and HE USED ALL CAPS! OMG!
Let me speculate about something. Trump could Twitter the following in a normal font along these lines..."I'm going to make myself a sundae and eat it in glee while I give the signal to the Air Force, Army, Marines, Coast Gard. Navy and five first grade teachers (believe me they're battle hardened) to totally wipe out Kim Jung Un and all of North Korea. Fire up the nukes! So whatya think of that?"
I am positive no one would bat an eye. BUT BECAUSE HE WROTE IN ALL CAPS, ordering the White House lawn mowed forthwith, for example would make international headlines. "Trump abuses White House Staff" would be the least of it.
My apologies for shocking your nervous systems by using all caps twice. No harm intended.
