(1) Located somewhere on your keyboard, quite possibly to the immediate left of the 'A' key, is a key marked "Caps Lock" or something very similar. Give it a quick little tap. You will notice that an LED somewhere else on the keyboard, quite possibly in the upper right corner but also sometimes located right on the Caps Lock key itself, goes off. The operating condition where this LED is not illuminated is considered by most to be the optimum default state for the keyboard. You will notice that when you type things with this LED off, an entirely different character set appears, one which you may not be familiar with. This character set is called "lower case". Normally, it is used for most communication, being punctuated only occasionally by upper case characters, frequently at the beginning of certain words. The precise syntactical rules for when to use upper case letters are rather complex, and might be a subject for future study on your part if you are so inclined. But at the very least, simply using all lower case rather than all upper case would be a good start and would contribute much to the legibility of your prose. --ben
