I asked the following question on twitter yesterday: “When you type something in all caps (either a word or phrase) do you hold shift or press caps lock?”

This came up in a conversation that I had with a friend in which we both agreed that we never use [Caps Lock].

Here are some of the responses I got:

@ernie
  @niczak shift for two words or less, caps for longer . . .

@gcrush
  @niczak i like caps lock

@craigverse
  @niczak Hmm, I should try that. TRIES IT! I must usually hold shift.

@tyf
  @niczak I hold down shift.. quite pathetic for a DBA (when caps are so necessary.. I don’t even to UPPER())

@elainevdw
  @niczak Shift, unless it’s on my phone, then I use my phone’s version of caps lock.

@geekandahalf
  @niczak Both. Depends on the word I’m writing. My left pinky is FIERCE at holding down the shift key. It might be bigger than my rt. pinky.

@rdana
  @niczak for ALL CAPS I press shift ALL THE WAY

I love some of those replies and very much to my surprise there are more people out there using the great old shift key than I imagined.
