Could you explain further how caps "take[s] away the identifiable shape of a word"? Is [FILE] really considered less identifiable than [file] somehow?

- pwaring 14y agoYes, FILE is less identifiable than file. All the letters are the same height and have similar shapes with all-caps, whereas lowercase letters have more variety and your brain can recognise the shape of words rather than looking at every single letter.
