Sorry, off topic, but I do feel better for it.
On this case one thing that really struck me was the forgiveness expressed by Stephen Oake's wife. She struck me as a verey dignified woman and it's a shame that her and her family's grief will be trodden on as the political parties try to make capital out of this.

CAPITALS are used to emphasise; some also use bold. It is the written equivalent to verbal inflection. "Inverted commas" are used by some in a semi-mocking tone, or if you like, a written equivalent to verbal sarcasm.
It's a pity you don't like the way people express themselves.
