Capital Letters

Capital ("Caps"/"Upper-Case") letters are principally constructed between two parallel lines: the base line and the cap height.

Small Capitals (Small Caps)
Some fonts contain small caps, capital lettersforms that are designed to work optically with lower case. They are generally a litle higher tahn the x-height.

Capital - use of
The use of Capitals is a complicated issue. The rule in English is that all proper names should begin with a acapital, and there is the common practice tahat within titles all words other than 'the' 'and' 'of', etc should also start likewise. However, the latter practice can make titles look ugly and many cases old fashioned.

ABORTION IS A PERSONAL CHOICE AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE LEFT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL CONCERNED. AS INDIVIDUALS WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE AND SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED UNFAIRLY FOR MAKING THIS DIFFICULT DECISION. FOR WHATEVER REASON WE CHOOSE, THE RIGHT TO ABORT IT IS NOT DONE WITHOUT REMORSE. AN UNPLANNED PREGNANCY CAN BRING AS MUCH DESPAIR AS JOY TO US AND AN ABORTION MAY BE THE ONLY POSITIVE DECISION WE CAN COME TO. I FEEL THAT THERE ARE MANY REASONS WE CHOOSE THE RIGHT TO ABORT LIFE, ALTHOUGH THE MAJORITY SEEM TO FALL BETWEEN FAILED CONTRACEPTION, RAPE, AND THREAT TO LIFE – MOTHER OR CHILD, SOCIAL OR FINANCIAL PROBLEMS. IF YOU ARE SOMEONE THAT THINKS OF ABORTION AS MURDER, I AM NOT TRYING TO CHANGE YOUR OPINION OR JUSTIFY A WOMANS RIGHT TO ABORT, AS I DON’T FEEL THAT JUSTIFICATION IS REQUIRED. I AM ONLY HIGHLIGHTING THE FACT THAT THERE IS A BIGGER PICTURE IN MOST CASES WHEN MAKING THIS DECISION.
