How do you feel about people who constantly send messages in all caps on WhatsApp?

Although I don't have personal feelings, I understand that messages in all caps can evoke different reactions. Here's how such messages might be perceived and some strategies for handling them:

### Perceptions of All-Caps Messages:

1. **Shouting**: All-caps messages are often interpreted as shouting or yelling, which can come across as aggressive or rude.
2. **Emphasis**: Sometimes, all-caps are used to emphasize certain points or express strong emotions, like excitement or frustration.
3. **Readability**: Messages in all caps can be harder to read, making them less user-friendly and more tiresome to process.

### Strategies for Handling All-Caps Messages:

1. **Ask for Clarification**:
   - If the tone seems inappropriate or confusing, you can ask the sender if they meant to emphasize something or if they are feeling frustrated. This can help clarify their intent and address any potential miscommunication.

2. **Set Communication Preferences**:
   - **Private Message**: Politely let the sender know that all-caps messages can be perceived as shouting and ask if they could avoid using it, as it can be harder to read.
   - **Group Guidelines**: If the issue is within a group chat, consider setting guidelines for communication and reminding members to use standard capitalization.

3. **Respond Professionally**:
   - If the all-caps messages are coming from a professional contact or in a business setting, respond calmly and professionally, focusing on the content rather than the formatting.

4. **Use Emojis and Formatting**:
   - Encourage the use of emojis or other formatting options (like bold or italics) to convey emphasis without resorting to all caps. This can help make communication clearer and more pleasant.

5. **Adjust Notification Settings**:
   - If all-caps messages are frequent and disruptive, you can mute notifications for that chat or adjust your settings to manage how you receive alerts.

6. **Educate on Best Practices**:
   - Share tips on effective communication with your contacts or group members, highlighting the importance of clear and respectful messaging.

By addressing all-caps messages thoughtfully and communicating openly, you can help maintain respectful and effective conversations, whether in personal or professional settings.
