minus-squarexeekei@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI thought “capital” as in uppercase letters only would refer to an uppercase letter at the start of a word.
minus-squarelugal@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoMaybe because that’s the most common usage of capitals but concider the term “all caps”
minus-squarexeekei@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYeah, but I figured “all caps” was just a misnomer. “Capital” usually refers to something being the biggest or most important in a group of things.
