Normally, when you edit a document, each time you type a letter, it's placed to the left of the cursor, which moves one space to the right, and any text that already exists is shuffled right. With overtyping, the existing text stays where it is, and each new letter you type simply replaces the existing text.

Why do i have to contact you if i used caps locks on WikiAnswers?

The general rule over most of the internet - is that typing in block capitals is considered shouting. Unless you're typing an acronym - or emphasising the odd word, you should refrain from typing whole sentences in upper case. It's just unnecessary.
