What is it?
I was once criticised by someone online for typing "OK" - she said I was shouting at her by using capitals. I pointed out that "OK" is normally written in capitals and that I wasn't shouting, merely typing it correctly as it would never have occurred to me to use lower case. Just a simple example of how lack of understanding of something simple like that can lead to a misinterpretation of a person's intentions.
I even spend time selecting upper case in text messages for the first letter of a person's name etc because I would feel I was insulting the person if I didn't.
