Texting is just a subset of all text communications. Most of my communications at work are either via e-mail or comments in code. Probably 15% of it is instant messaging. You can probably guess how often I write using shorthand, which is what truly makes written communications difficult to read. Outside of this board, I don't know anyone who finds it more difficult to read caps. Nor do I know anyone who still subscribes to the idea that writing with caps lock on is screaming. Nonetheless, this board and its moderators subscribe to the idea and have enacted a proscription against it.
