In this episode, Amanda and Dave discuss why the pronoun "I" is capitalized. They also discuss tidbits about typography, tittles and jots, and the origin of "uppercase" and "lowercase".
SOME NOTES: As discussed in the episode, this is the Anglo-Saxon letter "thorn" in uppercase and lowercase: (Þ, þ). We mentioned how confusing the word "minuscule" would look with no tittles, but a better example of this is the word "minimum."
