The names uppercase and lowercase letters came from the printing press era, where individual capital and smaller letters were kept in upper and lower cases, respectively. There were many different sizes and styles, aka sorts, which is also where the term "out of sorts" came from. If you ran out of particular letters, you were *all out of sorts*.

Unfrosted Pop-Tarts have more calories than frosted Pop-Tarts.

Car fact. The first Chevrolet SS was actually a Corvette in 1957. It was a race car. Did one race. And they never used the SS title in a Corvette ever again. As you know, damn near every car has had SS version since
