Robert, It has been proven that somewhere in grade school you cease reading the characters in words but just recognize the image of a word. The variation in the tops of lower case words is significent and in CAPS very minor, making them harder to differentiate. Cover the bottom of a line of lower case words, you can quickly read it, while you will have problems with UPPER CASE. I believe it is against the law, because of that, to use all upper case in legal documents. Find one in all UC and it is probably a scam they don't want you to understand! I had one from a credit card processor recently and well buried was "THE ENTIRE LEASE AMOUNT IS DUE AS A DEFAULT PAYMENT IF YOU ARE EVER 15 DAYS LATE ON A LEASE PAYMENT"! THEY OF COURSE HAVE THE RIGHT TO DRAFT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT RIGHT THEN! [email protected] -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
