By default this phrase is meant to be used in a nice way, as an excuse for unintentionally writing a whole sentence with Caps Lock on any chat. The person hits enter , without checking the written and notices that only after. Then he turns Caps Lock off and excuses for his ignorance.

Lately this excuse has been over-taken by retards and used right after the sentence, neglecting the ability to correct the sentence (delete and rewrite it). In many cases this 'excuse' is in caps also.

can also be said "sry caps", this is said after sending someone a message all in capitals by accident because you didnt know the caps lock was on. this happens frequently in instant messenger conversations.
