correction

anyone who has taken a class from me might have heard me say that early writing was in *all caps* (or majuscule) and that *lower case* (or minuscule) was *invented* by scribes during the time of Charlemagne. that's what we read in history books.

it looks like the lower case appeared earlier. and in the future, i am going to shy away from any history lessons, since nobody really knows anything for sure.



today's envelope is below this post.
