A computer-implemented method is proposed for representing capitalization in written text by quantitative differences in font size, font, color, boldness, and italics or some combination of these characteristics of lowercase letters rather than by the currently accepted use of uppercase letters. Shape differences between upper and lowercase letters impede learning to read. The proposed method of capitalization doesn't change the shape of the lowercase letter but only changes a property that leaves the basic shape of the letter intact. This design change makes text easier to read and allows children and illiterate adults to learn the alphabet more easily. It also transforms text to be readable by individuals who have learned the lowercase but not the uppercase letters. The proposed method of representing capitalization can also be used to signal capitalization in texts with unicase scripts. |
