Ever wonder why your name is in all CAPITALS
« on: June 30, 2008, 12:14:35 PM »
on every piece of government id and bank cards?

This video may not be the answer but it brings up interesting points. Its a Canadian version buts holds true for Americans as well. I called my bank and asked them why my name is in all capitals when thats is not how I sign or print my name. They put me on hold for 10 minutes and when they got back on the phone asked me why I wanted to know. I told them it was simply out of curiosity. They put me on hold again for what seemed like forever and when they came back they explained it's for "user friendliness", to make it easier for people to read the name on the card. I asked for some documentation from any of their bank books that would swear to this. They couldn't find it. Im still waiting for an explaination.

Anyone else have any idea's?

This video was design for the easily convinced smack heads like yourself.

The reason for upper case is usability and accessibility.

A lot of data for instance in a database is normalised, as is the case here.

Nordic, I'm a bit confused.  You always say you're a liberal.  I'm just wondering why so many of your posts are attacks on anything or anybody left of center.  I've heard of closet gays but never really seen a closet righty...  :-\

When the insanity and delusion is THIS obvious I will call it as it is.

Fuck it, call me a neo conservative for all I care, just don't forget to wear your tin foil hat when you read your phone bill with "HUGO CHAVEZ" (the slave) instead of "Hugo Chavez" (the man).

What makes it so unaccessable and unusable to have it printed in Capital and lower case? im just asking questions, I'd appreciate it if you could answer in a nice manner, thanks.

I asked several places and no one knows if theres any legality to it.

No idea but that seems normal worldwide. I have multiple passports and my name is always in all caps.

At least we know now Lupe...  It was just annoying to have you constantly on the attack under the same flag.  It was always, WTF :-\  Ok, we're cool, just don't confuse me by attacking liberal issues/ideas/people while calling yourself one.


I should have started a thread about this instead of posting here, sorry Bindare.

Watch this and tell me there is no legality in capital letter names.

Listen to what the cop is asking her! Watch it all and listen very carefully.

It's called data normalisation. For instance in my job, billions of web pages might be analysed for word relationships etc. This is so relation ships can be formed between words seamlessly, i.e. My TiTle => my title; BLUe skY => blue sky etc. Surely you understand why this is advantageous?

In this case, my personal preference and corporate policy is to normalise all the text on a web page to lower-case.

However, for admin tasks, like employee payroll the character data is upper case because it is the historical norm.

Characters typed exclusively either in lower or upper-case have an increased readability. For admin tasks, increasing usability and readability will decrease margin errors when copying the data via a human data inputter. Any decimal percentage of decreased errors is VERY desirable when dealing with millions of citizens, thousands of customers, etc. etc...

No idea but that seems normal worldwide. I have multiple passports and my name is always in all caps.

Yes it is the historical norm.

Maybe you tin foil hat wearing types can now pursue the conspiracy of WHY it is the historical norm?

So your saying 100% certainty there is no legality involved in having it written in all capitals?

What are you talking about? A legal requirement to be in block capitals?

Most forms in England are required to be in block capitals so that they can be read by a computer and ran through OCR software which has the ability to recognise upper case characters better than lower case / case mixture.

Yes, thats what I'm asking. I didn't ask what form of printing the name makes it easier to file.

Well your original statement made no assertion of legality being the issue did it?

Bro, for us to learn it would help that you didnt place yourself above me in the way you answer. If we are on an equal level we may both learn why she was able to get all these dickheads off her property without being in dishonor of the courts. If you watched the accompanied video you would know the reference of my question.

LOL... I like how how he refers to talking legally within the same set of written laws that allow him to do what he does as "grandstanding for the camera"  Everything she said was is law, saying it is grandstanding?

wtf

LOL.  I love the body language of everyone. In the first video they all barge into her house, by the end no one even wants to look at her.  Search for truth, ask questions about the world around you. I'm amazed at how much information is out there and I've been busy all afternoon calling government agencies asking questions. So far no one can help me get answers but Im peeking their curiosty as well, which I'm finding very interesting. haha

There is no harm in asking questions and looking for answers, why continue to just go through the motions like everyone else?

No, if you follow the posts in this thread you will find your position has changed dramatically from wanting an explanation as to why block capitals are used (which I provided an adequate answer), to now discussing the legality of the requirement of using block capitals.

I was responding to something exclusive of her getting some twats off her lawn.

Fair enough. A little misunderstanding.

Are you familiar with any legalities surrounding the capitalization of our names on government issued id? If you come across any, would you let me know? Thanks.

Ok, after seeing all of that, it must be nice to live in Canada.  Here in the US, they would have tasered you in the face 60 seconds in, stripped your ass naked and maced you several times.

It's not something that interests me enough to pursue an answer but it does seem diabolical that it is a legal requirement.
