No. There is no distinction in the eyes of the law between "A" and "a," "B" and "b," "C" and "c," or any other uppercase/lowercase letter combination. Many writing systems do not differentiate between uppercase and lowercase letters. Thus, it is impossible for someone's legal first name to be lowercase.
In the English language, only proper names can be capitalized. Words that are part of a sentence, such as titles, labels, and keywords, cannot be capitalized. Also, names of people cannot be capitalized; only names of companies, organizations, and laws can be capitalized.
Thus, only George Bush can be capitalized as a name, while President Bush, George, and the Bush family cannot be capitalized because they are words within a sentence.
It is important to note that it is possible to capitalize or lowercase a single word, depending on what tool is being used. For example, if you were to input "President Bush" into Microsoft Word, then only the first word would be capitalized.
The first three letters of the alphabet in uppercase form, for example, are A, B, and C. Lowercase versions of the three letters are a, b, and c. All other letters are only capitalized when they start words; otherwise, they're considered lowercase.
Uppercase letters (also known as capital letters) denote the commencement of a phrase or a proper word. Uppercase letters are used to start sentences and for proper nouns. Lowercase letters are those that do not start sentences. They are used to create words by combining characters.
No, you could name them with a lowercase letter, but because grammar exists, it would be capitalized in all instances. You couldn't correct them since it wasn't a spelling mistake.
Lowercase letters are the shorter, smaller forms of letters (such as w), as opposed to uppercase letters or capital letters, which are the larger, taller counterparts (such as W). Lowercase can also be used as a noun, implying the same thing as a lowercase letter, though this is far less common. The term "lowercase" comes from the fact that these letters are placed lower on a page than capitals.
There are 26 lowercase letters in the English alphabet: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. There are no lowercase versions of j or v, but there are two lowercases of i: one for Irish spelling and one for Scottish spelling. There are also two lowercases of z: s for American spelling and c for British spelling.
Each lowercase letter has a corresponding uppercase letter, except for z and s. For example, the lowercase version of e is not existent in English; however, the uppercase equivalent is often used in place of the lowercase letter x. Other examples include o being replaced with O and i being replaced with I. This is known as "spelling out" or "capitalizing" the word.
Words containing only lowercase letters should be treated like words containing only uppercase letters. That is, they should not be split up into separate letters.
There is no rule that states whether you should use capital letters or lower case letters. If you like, you may write your responses in small letters. You may use all capital letters. Listening and reading capital letter examples: DOG, CAR, SOCCER. Writing responses in lower case: dogs, cars, soccer.
But it's a good idea to keep in mind how others are likely to read your work. For example, if you print out words from a dictionary and use them in an essay, you would want to write everything in lower case so that the reader can easily identify the words. This goes for anything else you might find while listening or reading - songs, ads, whatever. Lower case everything!
There are advantages to writing in upper case. For example, if you are writing an article for publication, it will be easier to recognize when you need to change something if you use caps. And if you are talking, you can see how it makes words stand out more if you write in caps.
But otherwise, there is no right or wrong way to write. As long as you are clear and concise, others will understand what you're trying to say.
Lowercase letters are the smaller copies of each letter and are not capitalized. For example, this is a lowercase "a," but this is its capital "A." People can be sloppy and write in all lowercase letters in their emails at times. However, it is important to remember that when sending out legal documents or contracts, everything should be capitalized.
The original writing style used uppercase (or upper case) letters. Majuscule letters are another term for writing inside well-defined upper and lower borders. There are two more common* number styles: line or titling numbers or uppercase numbers, and oldstyle or lowercase numerals. Oldstyle numerals look like regular text but they're actually made up of several different types of characters: digits, decimal points, commas, and periods. Upper and lowercase letters are used to make words plural (for example, children vs. children). Words that start with a vowel are usually spelled with an initial capital letter (meeting vs. meetings). Numbers are always written in lowercase.
In modern printing, only uppercase letters need to be taken into account when setting type. Titling capitals are used mainly for decorative purposes; they're not needed for readability because of the presence of title pages, book covers, and other such design elements. Oldstyle numbers were popular before linotype machines could accurately reproduce punctuation and special characters. They're still used today in some types of print and signage where readability is not crucial.
There are three standard capitalization rules regarding numbers:
1. The numeral form of a word is always capitalized. (See "Why do we capitalize monday?" below.)
2. Zero is never capitalized. 00, 0.5, 0.
