honestly ive had it with the shift key myself. just a nuisance. besides, the text looks much nicer and 'even' when every letter is broadly the same height, but that is ofcourse subjective.

it would be good to track down the 'etymology' of capital letters.

Easy: Latin script.

The more interesting question is the source of lower case letters which appeared much later.
