Majuscule letters are more difficult to read than minuscule, and all-majuscule text is ineffectual compared to all-minuscule.Comrade PhysioProfhttp://physioprof.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-29207821547792837032010-08-22T20:30:36.826-04:002010-08-22T20:30:36.826-04:00Comrade PhysioProf,

It is sometimes taken so woefully far that pronouns referring to the dominant are capitalized, the way religious people write about their God.AndrewVanbergenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923434958244441857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-4383927611677541502010-08-22T18:45:00.831-04:002010-08-22T18:45:00.831-04:00Now this is a head-scratcher!
