duh, what a backward way of doing it i just posted!
better way:
<cfscript>
str="i HAVE MY CAPS LOCK ON BY MISTAKE!";
ucasecount = len(rereplace(str,"[^A-Z]","","ALL"));
lcasecount = len(rereplace(str,"[^a-z]","","ALL"));
if(ucasecount gt lcasecount){
writeoutput("More uppercase ("&ucasecount&") than lowercase ("&lcasecount&")
characters found. you might be SHOUTING.");
}
</cfscript>

what about comparing number of uppercase characters to number of lowercase?
<cfscript>
str="i HAVE MY CAPS LOCK ON BY MISTAKE!";
str=rereplace(str,"[^a-zA-Z]","","ALL");
ucasecount = len(rereplace(str,"[a-z]","","ALL"));
lcasecount = len(rereplace(str,"[A-Z]","","ALL"));
if(ucasecount gt lcasecount){
writeoutput("More uppercase ("&ucasecount&") than lowercase ("&lcasecount&")
characters found. you might be SHOUTING.");
}
</cfscript>

<cfset theWord = form.UserInput />
<cfif compare(form.UserInput, ucase(form.UserInput)) EQ 0> <-- word is all
caps
might be able to build on that?
