DESPITE IT BEING THE 21ST [EXPLETIVE] CENTURY, SOME PEOPLE STILL USED THESE TELEPRINTERS, WHICH ARE BASICALLY JUST TYPEWRITERS HOOKED UP TO PHONES AND WHICH ONLY ALLOW FOR ALL-CAPS SCREAMING.

METEOROLOGISTS HAVE TRIED AND FAILED MANY TIMES TO GET RID OF THIS STUPID HOLDOVER, THE NWS SAID IN A STATEMENT.

THEY ARE KEENLY AWARE THAT IN WEB-SPEAK IT’S SEEN AS YELLING AND MOSTLY USED BY ONLINE COMMENTERS SCREAMING MISOGYNISTIC ABUSE AT ONE ANOTHER, OR PERHAPS A FRIENDLY EMAIL FROM YOUR CLUELESS GRANDMA.

THANKFULLY, SOFTWARE UPDATES NOW ALLOW FOR THE NWS TO USE BOTH UPPERCASE AND LOWERCASE LETTERS IN THEIR FORECASTS
