- Dylan16807 2y agoIt can't be "the" point, because AaBbCc would also let you use a single bit to control case, the bottom bit.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 2y agoThe first bit was already taken at that point. The original 6bit ASCII (or whatever that predecessor was called) only did uppercase. A 7th (and later, 8th) bit was added to give it lowercase.
