INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY, OCTOBER 22 AND JUNE 28, IS A HOLIDAY THAT NEEDS TWO DAYS ON THE CALENDAR TO BE GIVEN ITS DUE. SOFTWARE DEVELOPER DEREK ARNOLD CREATED THE ORIGINAL DAY TO POKE FUN AT “TYPOGRAPHICAL CONVENTIONS.” BUT IT BECAME THE DAY WE PROVOKE INTERNET FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES AND RAISE AWARENESS THAT WRITING IN ALL CAPS IS NOT PROPER ETIQUETTE. ARNOLD ADDED THE SECOND DAY IN HONOR OF BOARDWALK-BRED BILLY MAYS, THE “AS SEEN ON TV” PITCHMAN, WHO WORKED WITH HIS VOLUME UP. SO PUSH THE CAPS LOCK KEY DOWN AND GIVE SOMEBODY A SHOUT OUT.
