All Caps, Block Letters & CLARIFYING

[allodial]

i heard someone else say that writing in ALL CAPS is called GLOSSA

A.K.A American Sign Language according to the Chicago manual of styles and oddly enough, found in the foreign languages section.


open source info is the only info worth pursuing IMO

The mention (OP) above is simply an addition to what has been gleaned from open source info. It is a simple reference to yet another piece of the open source puzzle (take a look at Erica Carle's book). It is readily available and open source info that uppercase and italics are used for names of corporations (dead things), titles, acronyms and symbols. In other words, the OP takes as a given what is already established and introduces that in addition to the established facts, the term clarification supports the obviated truth even further. The use of uppercase in law is like "slang" as in: a hint.

A name should contain only symbols that are found on a standard computer keyboard. Distinctions between upper and lower case letters are ignored; The Texas corporate records carry names in all capital letters. Subscripts, as in chemical formulas (h2o), or superscripts and other mathematical symbols cannot be entered at their records.

However, the hype and misinformation tends to fixate on one thing while ignoring (distracting you from) more valuable information: italics and uppercase are used for names of vessels.
