Jim, I googled your first question and here is what I was told. Apparently, in the old times when printers set font by hand a letter at a time, they placed the case holding the most frequent forms of the letters on a lower shelf for convenience. They called this box the "lower case" or
"uncapitalized". Capital letters were placed higher in a different box called the "upper case" or "capitalized." With the advent of the Al Gore internet, which gave rise to the dictionary.com website. Scammers soon realized that "uncapitalized" was not a word. Thus, their "code of ethics" bylaws does not allow them to use uncapitalized letters. They have their standards. Hope that helps!
Lovely Day...
