Many of you have asked Gogo, why do we associate CAPITAL letters with big sound? Try it - BEHOLD THE POWER OF ALL CAPITALS!!!! It makes you read it loud in your head, doesn't it?
This is actually a very interesting question.Humans first equated loudness with big and big with loudness during Turak’s rule in the first age of the pre-Summarian empire of Goth. In those days they did not have capital letters, just cuneiform and Big Cuneiform and BIGGEST CUNEIFORM. Well, obviously, if you really wanted to make an impact with what you had to say, you used BIGGEST CUNEIFORM, which resulted in huge clay tablets that had to be hauled by large carts. When posting, they were often dropped, resulting in a tremendous noise and the saying that is still used in Eastern Turkey and Northern Irag today…”that was some frigging BIGGEST CUNEIFORM”. This is why today we associate large letters with big sound.
