Talk:Letter case

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should this be merged into Case (orthography)? - Gwalla 22:35, May 10, 2004 (UTC)

This, perhaps. Sentence case, no. Dysprosia 22:47, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

Agree. They all seem to be variations on a theme of type and typesetting. Although, I think there ought to be separate encompassing articles to define capitalization (Title case, Sentence case, Camel case, All caps) apart from typesetting, which are not neccessarily connected (the latter being "craft work" while the former being "a form of writing"). —Down10 ^{T + C} 08:32, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Disagree. I do believe that these are interrelated subjects, and should assuredly reference each other; however, majuscule referers to a distinct type of historical writing. I feel that including it with typesetting would ignore the history._@Kaibab^TALK 23:15, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

In case you didn't notice, it's a bit late now. 66.229.160.94 09:49, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Disagree. CAPITAL LETTERS are a unique expressive medium, truly deserving of a disinct Wikipedia entry. Whiskey Pete 23:33, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] For what it's worth

I disagree with the merge proposal. Just saying. Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 04:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Capital sz?

Since Unicode 5.1, the phrase "An example of a letter without both forms is the German ß (ess-tsett), which exists only in minuscule" is not entirely correct anymore. I think that should be mentioned here, but do not see how to do that nicely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.148.224.39 (talk) 08:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Unicode didn't change anything. It says right there in the code chart "uppercase is 'SS'"—because it doesn't have its own upper-case character. (Besides that, Unicode represents writing systems, it doesn't own them and doesn't change their rules.)—Largo Plazo (talk) 12:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
