I'm not following, why emphasise the words you did? Reminds me of Austin Powers not being able to control the volume of his voice.

- coldtea 8y agoBecause (a) the emphasised parts describe the very method the parent said isn't how you're supposed to charge the Apple Pencil (b) they show what Apple not only recommends this method, but recommends it firat and without any qualifications, whereas what the parent said it the "canonical" way is mentioned as an aside qualified by "you can also". I could just paste the whole excerpt, but I wanted to "rub the relevant part "in the face", so to speak. I take it you are familiar with the concept of adding emphasis to a statement to highlight some part, right? If you're asking for the specific use of caps, it's because italics don't look very well in HN, and I can't bold IIRC.
