Majuscule

Meaning: big letters, capitals.

Usefulness: 1 (To describe angry text: "I see you're using majuscule to express your outrage." Or as your random fact for the day: "Did you know that minuscule has an opposite?")

Logofascination: 1 (Majuscule and minuscule are both typographical terms, taken originally from palaeography. Minuscule text is the small text, in printer's terms the very small text, and so came to mean very small things in general. They are related to major and minor respectively, although the common misspelling, miniscule, shows the influence of mini.)
