If you don't use Windows you definitely shouldn't feel dumb: if caps lock is enabled on Windows shift will cause you to type a lower case letter, thus inverting what you intended to type rather than uppercasing everything.

I was confused until I realized the caps lock case only applies to Windows users.

I've been using OSX as my primary OS for about a year (other than using Linux exclusively on every machine I SSH into for dev), but I just found out from your post that caps lock + shift doesn't make things lowercase on Mac. So, nope, I have no excuses :P

Actually, caps lock + shift gives lower-case in ubuntu as well.
