Capitalization

The rules of capitalization have evolved over time.  The ancient Phoenician, Greek and Roman alphabets were written in upper case or majuscule only.  Lower case letters or minuscule letters were not developed until later.  There are now a generally agreed upon set of rules for capitalization in the English language.
