Alternating caps

Have you ever seen someone write like this: ThIs Is CraZy? This type of writing is called "alternating caps" and it's when people switch back and forth between upper case and lower case letters in their writing. It makes the words look different and it can be a fun way to write something.

Think of it like playing with blocks. You can make different shapes and towers by stacking blocks on top of each other in different ways. With alternating caps, you're playing with letters and making them into a new shape.

It's important to remember that while it may look cool, it's not always appropriate to write like this, especially in more formal or professional settings. So, save the alternating caps for when you're having fun and experimenting with your writing!
