 And it doesn't take much of a reality check
 through my own personal faculties to realize 
 that my newsreader is not currently piped
 into a text-to-speech process and is not
 emitting any sound .... :-)
 Even then, there most likely wouldn't be 
 any extra emphasis on words written 
 in all capital letters unless the tts process
 was specifically altered to do so ....

 I don't think programming languages of that era
 were poorly designed and especially not just because
 they happened to be coded in text with all caps ....
