I preferred simpler times.
Where frustration was demonstrated by the instertion of profanities into the middle of sentences to make them sound more frustrated, along with an unnecessary number of exclamation marks at the end.

Much more fucking creative!!!!!!

what i dont understand
among quite alot of other things

is why you can emboldify a line of text, or italicify one. but you cant block capitalisyfy or decapitalisyfy in the same way

am i missing something very simple?

Highlight text, shift F3 (in Word at least)

Boring explanation
Italicising or emboldening text just changes the way it's displayed, leaving the same letter under the formatting. Upper and lower case letters are, to a computer, different bits of information, so swapping them around is more complicated.

This has been a SubstandardUnclear® explanation. Thank you.

had i actually given this some thought,
i might have reached this conclusion myself. you may as well ask it to change it to a number.

Not at all.
I just don't understand why they have to put it directly above the shift key so it can be caught by accident. The current primary use of the Caps Lock key, I.E. coming across as a prize cunt on the internet just caused my frustration with the physical presence of the key, as opposed to a keyboard shortcut that actions such as italicising, underscoring etc would require.
