Majuscule

In case you do not know the rule For using such a word, I’ll give some hints so that from guessing You won’t be deterred. A sentence must begin with one And also someone’s name Or any other proper noun; Your teacher’s not to blame. Some words are writ, for emphasis, In only majuscules. When texting, many people use A keyboard’s handy tools. Though miniscule began its life To name a small-case letter, Its use expanded, so it now Means all things small – much better. But majuscule got stuck in gear And has one definition – A letter that’s a capital; Let’s bring this to FRUITION!

Good poem, Ilene. And a useful one that should be memorized by students who may well benefit from it.

Me thinks it got mixed up with "Magical" by monks striving to improve their "art"

Our generation said capital or small. Today they say upper case or lower case, which extra syllables are annoying. We used to say ‘o’ for zero in phone numbers or whatever else. Zero’s extra syllable is a pain. I don’t know how to start a trend to call it ‘zo’. Maybe a poem would help.
