Vote #803

The following question was presented:

I'm going to guess the same thing applies to emoji's, but we're going to start small with the vote question. Sidetracking for a minute, I have been accused of using the wrong emoji's at work, however, this is on purpose. I will explain more in the analysis of this week's vote question, which is, at what age do you become unable to control the caps lock key?

Results:

60 was the clear winner with 19% of the votes selected from the following:

  • 10 (5%)
  • 20 (14%)
  • 30 (5%)
  • 40 (5%)
  • 50 (10%)

Analysis:

Not the explanation I was intending to give when I set this rather awkwardly worded question, but this question relates to my father's use of capital letters. I noticed that his entry into the F1 fantasy game was all lower case. I went back and looked at his prior entries into the NASCAR game and he seems to alternate between all caps or no caps. I asked him about it this past weekend and he just claimed he'd never entered the fantasy competition before. Clearly the memories of that are tucked away with those on how to use a shift key. What I've actually concluded is that the cleaner is periodically knocking the caps lock key so he's switching between all caps or no caps depending on how it's been knocked.

On another note, there's something weird afoot. We seem to have jumped significantly in the number of vote responses. I'm looking into this because it's really strange for two reasons, first - you can't do more than one vote per IP address unless you manually enter a name (and that hasn't been done). Second - the votes are coming from the weekly email response rather than posts from the site directly. I'll see what happens this week, but it's a bit of a mystery for now.
