Why

do people post "xD" instead of "XD"? I mean, XD looks better, and it will not uncapitalize the D. Watch.

XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD

Re: Why

It depends how funny something is.

For example:
"My toilet is overflowing!"
'xD'

(Warning; Not exact quote)
"Boinoinoi is the only scratcher I know who wears a monocle at the screen"
'XD'


See?  tongue

Re: Why

Maybe it's because they are too lazy to press Shift. 'x' looks like 'X', but 'd' doesn't look like 'D'. That's why they still use a capital D.

Re: Why

Well, I usually like "XD" more too, because it's cleaner. But sometimes I used the "xD" for teh lulz.

Re: Why

I kind of switched to "xD" for reasons unknown. I usually use both.

Re: Why

I use xD when I am laughing on the inside, but it's still funny. XD is reserved for funny out loud  tongue

(Oh, and  tongue  means sorta funny, or I think I'm funny, which I'm not  tongue )

Re: Why

Aidan, your information is incorrect. If you posted 'XD' by itself, it would make the d lowercase ('Xd') because of the thing that stops you from posting in all capitals.

Yes, but why would you have the need to post XD by itself? Wouldn't that be a rather useless post? And even if you're quoting something, you can still type XD.  hmm

Well I guess some people found out the D is lowercased the hard way and they made a habit of always using lowercase X.

Re: Why

No, this goes outside of scratch. x is always the same
x and X are the same size
xD XD
The D in my xD is greater than the D of Aidan's XD metaphorically
And besides, how can you be lazy if you leave one small and leave the other big? It's lazier to just hit capslock and do them both big, or do them both lowercase.

But the X in my XD is greater than the x in your xD. So there.  neutral
