Janet - Much of what passes for 'artistic license' these days is blamed upon the Greek Muses. Just what muse visits you as the patron of lower-case text? Is it the beautiful Calliope (legends), the fair Erato (poetry), the shapely Euterpe (tragedy) or perhaps the pensive Clio (history)? Or is it a Muse I haven't remembered? The curmudgeonly ghost of S.J. Perelman whispers in my ear . . . .or is it merely the wind whistling through my auditory canals (from one side to the other)? Ease of typing without the shift key heh? Aha! It is clear to me now - form over function. Well, why didn't you say so! Okay, you can come in.
