One day I decided to EMPHASIZE certain words with capitals. It was inspired by tying down the SHIFT key to phonetically YELL at someone. WELL, if you capitalize on certain words, more of the personality shines through and more definition comes out of the sentence. For example JOHN sat on the hairy thing John SAT on the hairy thing John sat ON the hairy thing John sat on the HAIRY thing John sat on the hairy THING. In addition to that, I have adapted the partial emphasis as well. fanTAStic oh MY! WHAMmaDOOdles! It would be nice to have a ~tilda~ or something to achieve this. For now I will cap it.
