      For emphasis, it’s a common practice in online text communication.

        My university English professor would literally shit herself to see that.

          Does she have IBS otherwise that would be a stupid reason to shit yourself.

            She has IBS so she shit herself a couple times throughout the year.

          I’d think at university you’d learn the difference between formal and informal communication, but I’ve learned a lot about the quality of the education system after teaching a few years.

            Capitalizing words like that makes it look like you write YouTube video titles.

            It isn’t informal communication it’s a travesty.

                Don’t even get me started about McDonald’s.

                Every time I eat there it’s like I have IBS.

                    I see what you did there.

                    It was very clever.

                    How’s that working out for you, being clever?

              It’s also been used for hundreds of years, it’s not a post-internet concept.

              It might be a youtube title, or it might be quoted Greek or Latin text. Or various other uses in between.
