A Correct answer
Explanation

In internet etiquette (netiquette), writing in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS is conventionally interpreted as shouting. It's considered aggressive or rude because it's harder to read and visually loud. This convention dates back to early online communication systems and persists in modern messaging.

AI explanation

Writing in all capital letters online is a widely recognized piece of internet etiquette that reads as 'shouting' because it visually emphasizes the text the way raising your voice would in speech. It has no established association with laughing or speaking softly, which are conveyed through other conventions like 'lol' or ellipses.
