If I were your buddy, then you would have learned the DIFFERENCE
between yelling and emphasis by now.
EVERY example that you listed was emphasis. <- THAT is emphasis.
LEARN THE DIFFERENCE! <- THAT is yelling.
Single case machines, which were the norm before you were taught
your prissy jingoistic misguided parody of etiquette, could have
been designed to be all lower case, OR ALL UPPER CASE. Do you know
why they chose UPPER CASE?
Will you think that we are yelling at you if we explain it?
Or, do you deign to tell us that emphasis is the same as yelling?
DO NOT TELL US NOT TO YELL!
THAT is the only way to ensure that you will be yelled at.
OB_Irrelevant_Computer_Trivia: What prissy reporting of activities
half a century ago, at the school that I later taught at for 30 years,
were responsible for IBM using the term "planar", instead of
"motherboard"?
Hint: it included some emphasis, but mostly yelling.
