3. I hat it in *most* cases, but will defend its use...
...in all-caps situtations. The trouble tickets I work every day contain only capital letters. I need to write CUSTOMER IS SWAPPING CSU'S, because "swapping CSUs" is not an option. the non-technical people who read my ticket notes may not know what a CSUS is.

Given the luxury of upper- and lower-case letters, though, I'll be as outraged as you like.
