If you must copy and paste, why not get hold of Open Office (or even
Microsoft's Office) or any other office and get rid of all the
shouting?
You do realise that these things are written on government servers and
they have to shout to keep the minions awake? (Yes I know that was in
another century but the protocols are still the same.)
You are just historically illiterate.
The ALL CAPS mode of weather warnings dates back to morse code and
teletypewriters which only came equipped with CAPITAL letters. While
weather services are often early adopters of technology, they after all
do own the largest fleets of satellites and they did adopt the
telegraph-telephone-teletype very early, they are also slow
conservative organizations. That's reality. You don't like it, go to
another planet.
The Roman not only never had lower case at all and everything they
wrote was ALL CAPS, but they didn't even have 26 letters to do it with,
which is why you see carved on PVBLIC LIBRARY fronts the Roman form of
"U" related to "UU" double-U. Lowercase itself is so-named by printer's
type fonts, where the movable type was kept in drawers or cases: CAPS
above and uncials in the lower case. It's a relatively new invention.
The uncials were imitation of handwriting, as is italics, originally
created by monks copying manuscripts by steel ink brushes as fast as
they could. So basically you want a return to the good-old-days of
brush handscript by monestary monks instead of wonder inventions which
could not only transmit intelligence by wireless around the world, but
are capable of printing up individual copies in impecible legibility.
Tsk, tsk.
Bye the way -- you know what they call 1000 lawyers at the bottom of
the ocean? A good start.
You know why sharks don't attack lawyers? Professional courtesy.
The devil's offer
The devil visited a lawyer's office and made him an offer. "I can
arrange some things for you, " the devil said. "I'll increase your
income five-fold. Your partners will love you; your clients will
respect you; you'll have four months of vacation each year and live to
be a hundred. All I require in return is that your wife's soul, your
children's souls, and their children's souls rot in hell for eternity."
The lawyer thought for a moment. "What's the catch?" he asked.
