Sometimes its a form of emphasizing something that is intended to nudge them to do a little research.

I thought that is what my last sentence: "If I understand correctly (not an expert), vector graphics are essentially just visual representations of mathematical expressions." did... >> Now tell me in a few words what the hell Draw DOES so I can understand >> why "erase" is so foreign to it.

No one here is paid to do your homework for you. The questions you are asking are general in nature. I was trying to get you to say to yourself something like "Hmmm, maybe those words are in all caps because they are important - wonder what google has to say about them?", then follow through and google them, like this: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=vector+vs+raster >> Please characterize, without shouting, a Raster Graphic program, >> and why it is so different from a vector graphics program that it >> allows a graphical element to be removed. And don't yell. I'm >> ignorant, not stupid. Besides, shouting doesn't help the stupid or >> the ignorant. Context is everything. In this case, the caps were NOT used to shout, they were used for EMPHASIS. Sometimes I emphasize things with caps, and sometimes I do it with 'quotes', or *asterisks*. Depends on what time of day it is, how much coffee I've had, and whether or not it is raining outside.
