Texting, abbreviations and emoji, sentence 11

Writing in all capitals usually feels like shouting in a text, but some older people use capitals because they are easier to read.

Who acts: older people, people · What happens: writing, feel, shout, use, be, read · To what, where: capitals, text

This is a sentence of the lesson «Texting, abbreviations and emoji» of the language course of Mova's primary school.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): no change. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
