NAVY ABANDONS ALL CAPS

ATTENTION: THE NAVY HAS ABANDONED ITS REQUIREMENT THAT COMMUNICATION BE IN ALL CAPS. The Wall Street Journal says the switch to title case marks an end to an era which honored the “legacy of primitive technology combined with the service’s love of tradition.” The order came with a word of warning for sailors “not to go too crazy”—mixed-case sentences are only okay in the body of a message.
