There is a serious consequence to this phenomenon. Ergonomists tell us that we recognise words not by spelling the letters out in our minds, but by the shape of the words. This is why it works.
Ever notice that freeway signs are all in upper and lower case? it's because of this very thing - we recognise place names and directions by the shape of the words, not by the individual letters. And if the words are emphasised by putting them in all caps, they are HARDER to read, not easier. For us as web developers, it tells us that we should always use upper and lower case characters, not upper case. If you want to emphasise something, use bolder type, larger type, colour changes etc, but not put all in upper case. See. I'm working. And it's Saturday here.
