A significant amount of the latest Harry Potter travesty appears to be SET IN
CAPS. I believe the author wants to highlight the eponymous heroes inner angst
at the onset of puberty.
I don't recall puberty making me hit the caps-lock key every time I spoke, but
then mine was a stunted childhood, stuck in the hell of punch-cards. Perhaps if
I'd attended a multi-sex school instead of a no-sex one, I too could have
shouted in Bodoni Bold.
Apparently, this is a long-standing typographic tradition. We can't blame either
BIFF or the spammers for this one.
