| Do not make block letters. This is just to show that the upper case S is about twice the height of the lower case s. |

| The terms upper and lower case come from the days when printers used metal type. The letters were kept in divided cases, and the "upper case" letters were kept in the upper case. The "lower case" letters were use more often, so they were placed where they were easy to reach. |
In case you are not sure how to form the upper and lower case letters, here is a useful chart:
