I am so sorry i used caps yesterday on 2 messages. My son explained it to me, I am to old to know the lingo for computers and text message. Sorry but due to low vision it has become a habit. So So sorry. Tincan

Not to worry. Some boards are very picky about that but I don't think anyone here would take offense. Maybe you could have your son help you set up the display on your computer so it's larger and easier for you to read. I know it can be done but can't remember how.

My husband uses caps all the time and has been called on the carpet for it by lots of people. He never knew what he was doing - it's just that he never learned to type and does the two-finger typing - just easier for him.

I think we can tell by the tone of a message if someone is yelling or not!?

I am using a Mac -

On the tool bar at the top of the page there are these words:

Safari File Edit View History ...

Click on "View" (and hold it for the drop down menu)
then go down to the "Zoom In" words and release the mouse

About using all caps -
Now you know - if that's the biggest "goof up" of the day, life is good

you can also hit control and the plus sign to enlarge any page that you cannot see.

on the (older) Mac that I'm using it's the key next to the space bar that has the apple symbol on it along with the plus sign to make it larger

If you use that key and the minus sign, it makes it smaller.

The "control" key on this computer didn't do anything.

I have a few vision impared friends and all caps are easier for them to read. I just figured it was the case with you.
