Facebook question

Most posts on Facebook are in small letters, some bold, some not, but all in small type. Whenever I try to add something it is in HUGE type like I'm trying to shout my head off. How do people make the posts with the small letters? I don't want to shout my head off, I just want to say something in a polite and normal voice.

When I make comments in reply to others' posts it's fine, small fonts and normal voice, but I cannot initiate anything without looking like an asshole.

So I can't make very brief statements, only long ones. I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Thanks for the help. It's still in bold, though. Any way to make it not bold?
