    lets nip the trend for upper case in the bud please

    I prefer sentence case personally. Although camel case is perfectly acceptable in Eugene's Lair.

    You all know why caps is called 'upper case' and …er… lower case is called 'lower case', right?

    erm... perhaps not? Do explain.

    because there were two different keys before shift buttons were invented? one upper one and one lower one?

    the etymology of the word "cliche" is interesting. in the days before moveable type some french newspapers would have whole common phrases on a key which you could then click, hence "cliche".

    @unaesthetic because typesetters stored metal type in two cases - the one at the top was the big letters?
