No--each letter or number, capitalized or lower case, has the same number of bits to the ASCI byte that makes up that letter or number.

BUT IT'S ANNOYING TO READ ALL CAPS AND IT SEEMS LIKE A PERSON IS ANGRY WHEN HE/SHE USES ALL UPPERCASE.

Hmph!

While I know NOTHING about the caps thing...I do recall (I think) someone “high up” here, one time, say that even pics don’t use up more bandwidth as far as this forum goes.

I think.

Who knows.

I’m old.

And you didn’t start a problem...this is going to be a fun thread....and maybe a mod will answer you?

No, of course not. Whether uppercase or lowercase, each ASCII letter is the same byte size.

Why? Perfectly good thread, perhaps better than average.

A person needs POWERS to do special fonts!

You obviously, don't have them.

We could be snooty and ask, “Will using excess and/or incorrect commas eat up more bandwith?”

But, in the name of bandwidth saving, I CHOOSE to not open that can of worms today.

LOL.

each ASCII letter is the same byte size.

Does ASCII come in "fun-size" also?
