A blog that discusses the improper use of lowercase "i"s in words that are otherwise all caps. Which is NOT silly! It's NOT!!!
Welcome to "Why a Tittle?"
For some years now I've had a mild obsession with bad lettering on signs. It has always amazed me that (probable) high school and college graduates are still missing skills that they should have mastered by the end of the third grade. I had originally thought that I'd build a site called www.thedeclineofwesterncivilization.com, and use bad signs as proof. But I'm lazy and this is easier.
This blog is dedicated to documenting the common practice of dotting "i"s incorrectly on signs made up of mostly or all uppercase letters. If I'm successful, I'll end up with a nice bookend blog to the wonderful lOWERCASE l blog -- an idea that I wish I had come up with the first time I saw a MUlCH AND lOAM outside the garden center a few years back...
And for those of you who don't "get" the title, it's a pun on the name Y.A. Tittle, a former longtime NFL quarterback for the 49ers and Giants. A tittle is the dot on top of a lowercase "i".

I totally disagree. Handwritten text has no essential dependence on lexicographic type cases. Eventually, as in latin handwritten text, capitalization eventually became a style issue. In other languages which use the same basic ascii symbols, the conventions for capitalization are very different, as well as usages for letter glyphs with decending elements (g, j, h, etc.). All of it is morphing and I see no reason to oppose that evolution. It is happening for good reasons.
What are those good reasons?
First time here. YA Tittle was hardly a "long time" NY Giant QB--he played there for five years, which is only two years longer than the three years he played for the Baltimore Colts. Tittle was a long time San Francisco 49er, where he played for ten seasons.
Yeah what is the third grade error
I can't see it
Where is it

Among the good reasons are internationalization of the internet including kanji postings on this very thread above. As computer displays of text become more portable and typographical leading (i.e., spaces between lines) becomes narrower to accommodate more text lines, the graphical area of font glyphs has to become standardized. Otherwise a supplier is stuck with having to make different display hardware or software for each market.
