Capital letters 101. (EN/ES/)

thisisirene March 20th, 2021

Hello! My name is Irene and today I would like to put into words something I've been thinking of for a while.

We all know how triggering caps can be to some people, they bring back old, and often bad memories, 7 cups is an inclusive place, so I think we should be careful and try to use alternatives so we can make everybody comfortable here on 7cups.

Ladies, gentlemen, and friends, I shall introduce *these!* I think capital letters are mainly used to emphasize a text or to show excitement about something, and hey, I think the asterisks do the job! Again this is just me trying to make 7cups a more inclusive place, but I suggest you give it a shot and use it, you might avoid someone a hard time!

This is it people, hope you guys find this interesting and useful <3 y'all are loved and awesome. Take care!

- Best regards

Irene, rhymes with listerine. ( feel free to pm anytime!)

--------------Español---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hola! Mi nombre es Irene y hoy me gustaría expresar algo que llevo pensando ya de hace tiempo.

Todos sabemos lo estresantes que las mayúsculas pueden ser para ciertas personas, mandan a la mente pensamientos acerca de viejos, y normalmente malos recuerdos, 7 cups es un sitio inclusivo, así que creo que deberíamos de tener cuidado y utilizar alternativas para que todo el mundo este cómodo aquí en 7cups.

Damas, caballeros y amigos, os presento *¡esto!* Creo que las mayúsculas son mayormente utilizadas para dar énfasis a un texto o mostrar emoción, y hey! ¡Me parece que los asteriscos funcionan muy bien! Ahora, esto soy solo yo intentando hacer 7 cups más inclusivo, pero sugeriría que lo intentes usar, puedes evitarle un mal rato a alguien.

Hasta aquí llegamos gente, espero que lo encontréis útil e interesante, sois válidos y maravillosos. Cuidaos!

Irene que rima con listerine ( siéntete libre de mensajearme!)

@thisisirene Thanks for this awesome post, Irene.Red heart

This is a really insightful post. Caps could be really triggering and I believe *these* could surely be used caps in order to show enthusiasm or emphasize a text. This could be a great alternative for sure.Red heart
