Great Runes n.
Uppercase-only text or display messages. Some archaic
operating systems still emit these. See also runes, smash
case, fold case.
There is a widespread legend (repeated by earlier versions of
this entry, though tagged as folklore) that the uppercase-only
support of various old character codes and I/O equipment was
chosen by a religious person in a position of power at the
Teletype Company because supporting both upper and lower cases
was too expensive and supporting lower case only would have made
it impossible to spell `God' correctly. Not true; the upper-case
interpretation of teleprinter codes was well established by 1870,
long before Teletype was even founded.
