Hi!

I think you are dealing with subtitles, and although it's a personal option, I would like to comment on something off your question. It's about formatting (by the way, you asked also about 'f'. It's also related to formatting strings).

I personally (so you can completely avoid my suggestions) find UPPERCASE LETTERS in subtitles (like in a chat), as if somebody is shouting, instead of speaking (actually, when lowercase letters are used, sometimes UPPERCASE LETTERS are then used to mean that somebody is shouting or emphasizing something).

Therefore, I would personally use something like the following, instead of what you provide as an example (of course, you can completely ignore my advice):

All the best,

Hello, newbieAuggie2019.

Thanks for your reply. I have been away and for some reason didn't get a notification for this message. I understand what you mean by this, it's very common among forums and other interaction environments to avoid uppercase writing. However, this is part of the style of the TV channel and their request, so this is how it has to be done for them. When working with subtitles and captions, it all depends on what the client needs and prefers. In fact, sometimes a client will make a request that doesn't help with the readability—which I don't think is the case here.

When dealing with subtitles, I personally don't consider this as shouting; when you want to convey that, you use a sound effects tag. Probably the client wants to make sure the captions are read by everyone irrespective of how far they are from the TV. I'm not sure, though.
