Awareness

CLS is everywhere. Most commonly on forums and chat. People with this can be found all over the internet. Typing in full caps and usually accompanied by bad spelling and/or 1337 talk. You may very well have a friend with this syndrome. Weather he could be online or off.
Often, Forums and chat rooms will ban for this type of talk. They mean well, but what we really have to do is treat this problem. Not ignore it. We must link them to this site. Hopefully this will make a difference.
Prevention
I have found ways to stop CLS from ever starting. Here are a few ways to permanently prevent CLS.
Alert for when you press Caps Lock
And here's a brilliant idea. The first developed way to prevent CLS. Take the button off the keyboard. An example shown at bottom.

4 Stages of CLS
Shock: You don't like it when I type in all caps? :0
Denial: People think I'm cool when I type in all caps. Your crazy. :s
Anger: Why do people hate caps lock >:(
Acceptance: I'm an asshole :(
The Test
Below are 5 symptoms.
| Is this light on?
|
When you press shift to write a letter in upper case, it ends up in lower case? | Do you type with caps lock on? | When you type, do letters
come out in all caps?
Example: HELLO BILLY, HOW ARE YOU TODAY |
When you type, do people
reply
"Stop writing in all caps jackass!!!"? |
If you can answer yes to any of the above, then you most likely have CSL!!!
How to treat CLS
Most of the ways to cure CLS is mentioned in the Prevention section. But there is one very urgent trick to temporarily turn off caps lock. The steps are on the bottom.
Step 1)Press the Caps Lock button Once
I hope that wasn't to lengthy a read for you. But incase you didn't understand that, here's a picture.

Spread the Word
Now that you are more educated on the subject known as CLS. Spread it to your friends by linking them here, or posting this link in a forum. But make sure, when you spread the word, not to do it in caps! ;)
