Tools of the trade. They are noticably worn from excessive use.

A style of typing in which letters are capitalized nontraditionally, usually according to a pattern. Users may capitalize every other letter, only vowels or only consonants, or random letters. Most frequently seen in the journals of 16 year old girls using AOL or aZns. ReMeMbEr: AlT CaPs Is AlTeRNaTiVe To AwEsOmE!1! AlLcApS Is FoR FaGgOtS!!!1

It's both sensible and eurofag.

the tuMBLR TYPE!!!111!!! A recently acclaimed fucked up typing style wherin the perpetrator starts their sentences off calmly and as the statement progresses it intensifies. Usually, these faggots always type in low-case letters and make purposeful spelling mistakes in addition to the awkward typing, doing it out of "irony".

LasT BuT NoT LeasT, TherE IS ThE CapitalizE ThE FirsT AnD LasT LetteR OF EverY WorD.
Simply THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST!!
Also, don't forget NOT TO CAPITALIZE THE FIRST LETTER IN EVERY FUCKING WORD. If you do, people who don't have a fascination with the shift key will shit on your spaghetti and call you Shirley.

Awesome powah. Especially when you realize that using the ; and : forms as we have done has fucked up the formatting on this artical.

Altcaps was known as "Psycho Chicken" in the pre-internets days when dinosaurs still roamed. [citation needed]
