Make it stop. My head is going to explode!

JUST SO YOU KNOW THIS IS HOW THE CANADIAN MILITARY DELIVERS OFFICIAL TACTICAL COMMUNICATIONS THERE IS EVEN A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT FORMATS THE TEXT TO THIS FORMAT CAPITALIZING ALL LETTERS AND REMOVING ALL PUNCTUATION EVEN POSTING ORDERS COURSE ACCEPTANCE ORDERS AND ANY ORDERS THAT DIRECT OFFICIAL MOVEMENTS ARE ALL FORMATTED THIS WAY

It is quite infuriating, rather quickly. I can't imagine what the tactical advantage could be.

It prevents conventional decoding techniques from decrypting their communications. Most people will look for the punctuation in order to see where a new directive begins and the old ends. You've just cost the Nucks a super secret to the power of the terrorists. Jerk.
