I'M GOING TO BUY CASTLEVANIA ORDER OF ECCELSSIA TOMORROW. IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF FUN, WITH SEVERAL WAYS TO KEEP IT FROM BEING TOO HARD.

THAT CAP IS OVER 20 YEARS OLD AND LOOK HOW WELL IT HAS HELD UP. SEAMS ARE STILL AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS BOUGHT. QUITE A BIT FADED FROM ITS ORIGINAL BLACK AS A COAL MINE AT MIDNIGHT ON A NEW MOON. PRETTY GOOD VALUE FOR TWELVE DOLLARS IN 1997 OR SO.
AND IT WASN'T UNTIL 2014 THAT I GOT THOSE PAINT SPOTS ON THE VISOR.

WHY DO WE NEED CAPITAL AND lowercase LETTERS?

FOUND MAYBE ONE PART OF THE REASON;

Quote:

There are some words that change their meaning based on whether the first letter is capitalized or not. These words are collectively known as “capitonyms”. These capitonyms are particularly troublesome when they appear at the beginning of a sentence, as there is no way, based on the single word alone, to tell which meaning is being referred to. Examples of these include: August vs. august (month vs “majestic or venerable”); Calorie vs. calorie (1000 calories vs. 1 calorie); Moon vs. moon (the Earth’s natural satellite vs. any natural satellite)

ANOTHER FIND

Quote:

Sometimes we call big letters majuscules and little letters minuscules, and the big letters are also called capitals. Did you know the terms uppercase and lowercase come from typesetting?

http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/educat ... -lowercase

AND ANOTHER

Quote:

Over time, however, it was only natural that smaller versions of each letter would develop. This probably happened as letters were written quickly. To save time and space, letters became smaller and more rounded as scribes hurried to finish their work.

These smaller versions of letters eventually evolved into an entire miniscule set of letters. Compared to majuscule versions, the miniscule versions offered improved and faster readability in addition to being easier and faster to write.

The distinction between uppercase and lowercase letters doesn't exist in all languages, though. Certain Eastern and Asian writing systems, including certain Indian, Chinese, and Japanese alphabets, do not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters.
