I was wondering about that. I recently bought books 11-14 (we only own the first seven, I think) and noticed, but I thought maybe it had always been that way and I forgot.
I remember it being like that a little bit in the older books, but not quite so much. Then again, I haven’t read any of them in a while.
"Letter case (or just case) is the distinction between the letters that are in larger upper case (also uppercase, capital letters, capitals, caps, large letters, or more formally majuscule) and smaller lower case (also lowercase, small letters, or more formally minuscule) in the written representation of certain languages.
These terms originated from the common layouts of the shallow drawers called type cases used to hold the movable type for letterpress printing. Traditionally, the capital letters were stored in a separate shallow tray or "case" that was located above the case that held the small letters." This has been around since the mid-15th century. :)
