ALL CAPS
Every letter capitalized
All caps means text written entirely in capital letters.
Online, all caps typically conveys shouting or strong emphasis: WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?
In headers and titles, all caps signals importance.
Extended all-caps text is harder to read than mixed case, which is why style guides discourage it for body text.
She texted back in all caps, so I knew she was furious.
