Does Font Matter When Writing Essays

<p>My friend in my AP lit. class used to have this unique writing font where she would capitalize every letter in everything she wrote. She used to get 7s on her essays from the teacher, though the teacher did say that the AP readers would assume that the writer does not know how to write in lower-case if they read one of her essays, lowering her score.</p>

<p>I want to know to what extent is this truthful? What if you just made it so that your capital letters were in a different style but not traditionally capitalized?</p>
