Abbreviations and being flagged

When I typed that I was from EEUU, I got flagged for being impolite by typing in all capital letters. How do we type abbreviations without being flagged?

As you can see, if you leave a space then the program accepts it.

You were not flagged as this would have resulted in reputation points being deducted. You just received a warning that all capital responses are not allowed. Unfortunately it is built into the programming.

So just write out the abbreviations, then. I see alot of them used, so I used them. It must not apply to everyong? - sanlee, Apr 3, 2010

add spaces. I think you can only put two caps in a row
