Flips between lowercase and uppercase letter by letter, whatever case the text started in. Widely used for playful captions and memes, where the wobbling rhythm is the entire point.

tHiS Is fInEWhere it came from
Alternating caps became internet shorthand for a mocking, sing-song tone — quoting something back at someone to signal you find it ridiculous. Because that reading is now well established, it is worth using deliberately rather than decoratively.
Accessibility
Screen readers may pronounce alternating capitals letter by letter, and the broken word shapes are hard work for readers with dyslexia. Keep it to short bursts, and never use it for information someone needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the alternation restart on each word?
No — it runs continuously through the text, so the pattern carries across spaces. That is what produces the uneven, sing-song look rather than a repeating per-word rhythm.
