VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE USE ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR THEM TO READ. MANY ALSO HAVE A PROGRAM ON THEIR COMPUTER THAT CONVERTS WHAT YOU TYPE INTO CAPITAL LETTERS SO THEY CAN READ IT AS WELL.
AN ACQUAINTANCE OF MINE IS CONSTANTLY CALLED OUT BECAUSE SHE TYPES IN CAPITAL LETTERS FOR EASIER READING. SHE ENDS UP HAVING TO TELL EVERYONE OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT SHE IS VISUALLY IMPAIRED BECAUSE SHE IS ACCUSED OF "YELLING" AT OTHERS AND ATTEMPTING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS IN THE GROUP. SHE HAS TO KEEP BRINGING UP HER PRIVATE MEDICAL INFORMATION AND FACING HER LIMITATIONS BECAUSE OTHERS ASSUME SHE IS JUST YELLING TO YELL OR GETTING UPSET OVER NOTHING.
OTHERS RESPONDED THAT WHILE THEY TOO ARE VISUALLY IMPAIRED, THEY WON'T TYPE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS ON THEIR CASE ABOUT IT. SO THEY LIMIT THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE UNKIND PEOPLE. THEY ARE HOLDING BACK ON DOING SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE USEFUL TO THEM BECAUSE OF THE REACTIONS OF OTHERS.
THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES USING COMPUTERS. SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT A PLACE TO GRADE WRITING OR JUDGE OTHERS INTENTIONS. REMEMBER THAT ALL YOU SEE OF THAT PERSON IS SOME LETTERS ON A SCREEN. YOUR HARSH JUDGEMENT AND RESPONSE MAY DO MORE HARM THAN YOU REALIZE.
THIS WORLD IS UGLY ENOUGH. UNDERSTANDING AND BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE.
