They don't capitalise their acronyms which regularly catches me, forcing a rewind and a re-read; anyone know why not?

  They do, but typeset them with small caps.

    OK, from <https://www.economist.com/leaders/2022/08/28/nasas-newest-rocket-is-a-colossal-waste-of-money https://www.economist.com/leaders/2022/08/28/nasas-newest-ro...> "The Space Launch System (sls) is the first step..." does 'sls' look upper or lower case to you?
    • zeckalpha 4y ago
      Upper

        Checked it; emacs and ascii tables say lower. Chars 115 and 108 decimal. Puzzled.

          the css specifies a 'smallcaps' font to display as, while the text itself remains lowercase

            Ah. But I see miniscules. I also run without js which may be something to do with it. Seems web dev is so highly developed that showing text is becoming passe I guess.
