Day 2: Upper and Lower Case Letters

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_case#/media/File:A_Typesetters_Sorting_Case.jpgEver wondered why the letters are called upper and lower case? Turns out it all goes back to the printing days when individual letters (type blocks) were stored in boxes or drawers called “type cases” – small letters were at the bottom (hence lower case), and large letters were at the top (hence upper case).
