In the English language, for instance, the first letter of the alphabet can be written in both upper-(A) and lower-(a). Alphabets that employ both upper- and lower-letters are called bicameral, and alphabets that employ only one are called unicameral. Bicameral alphabets often employ a third case, called tide case, to capitalize the first letters of appropriate words in tides and headings; for instance “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.” See AT case, mini-AT case, mini-tower case.
