Whois & Analysis for convertcase.net

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.

The writing systems that distinguish between the upper and lower case have two parallel sets of letters, with each letter in one set usually having an equivalent in the other set.

Basically, the two case variants are alternative representations of the same letter: they have the same name and pronunciation and will be treated identically when sorting in alphabetical order.

A letter is a grapheme (written character) in an alphabetic system of writing, such as the Greek alphabet and its descendants.

Letters also appear in abjads and abugidas (variants of alphabets in which vowel marking is secondary or absent).

Letters broadly denote phonemes in the spoken form of the language, although there is rarely a consistent exact correspondence between letters and phonemes.

Writing is a medium of human communication that represents language and emotion through the inscription or recording of signs and symbols.

In most languages, writing is a complement to speech or spoken language.

Writing is not a language but a form of technology that developed as tools developed with human society.

Within a language system, writing relies on many of the same structures as speech, such as vocabulary, grammar and semantics, with the added dependency of a system of signs or symbols.

The result of writing is generally called text, and the recipient of text is called a reader.

Motivations for writing include publication, storytelling, correspondence and diary.

Writing has been instrumental in keeping history, maintaining culture, dissemination of knowledge through the media and the formation of legal systems.

Case is a special grammatical category whose value reflects the grammatical function performed by a noun, pronoun, adjective, participle or numeral in a phrase, clause, or sentence.

In some languages, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, determiners, participles, prepositions, numerals, articles and their modifiers take different inflected forms depending on what case they are in.

English has largely lost its case system, although it still has 3 cases that are simplified forms of nominative case, accusative case and genitive case: subjective case (I, you, he, she, it, we, they, who, whoever), objective case (me, you, him, her, it, us, them, whom, whomever) and possessive case (your, yours, my, mine, his, hers, its, their, theirs, our, ours, whose, whose ever).

Distinctions can be seen with the personal pronouns: forms such as I, he and we are used in the role of subject ("I kicked the ball"), whereas forms such as me, him and us are used in the role of object ("John kicked me").
