    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.

            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.
