It's a whole day dedicated to something that drives most people crazy—text that is written in ALL CAPITALIZED LETTERS!
International Caps Lock Day was created in 2000 by Derek Arnold of Iowa. This holiday began as a parody. It was intended to poke fun at those individuals who unnecessarily capitalize letters, words and phrases.
The day became so popular with internet users that it is now celebrated twice a year—on June 28th and on October 22nd. In fact, the June observance coincides with the death of Billy Mays, the shouting infomercial king. There is even a Twitter account dedicated to this day (@CAPSLOCKDAY).
Hit your caps lock button and celebrate INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY!
