I have better things to do than have to prove the sky is blue to people who obviously want to believe it is green.
I can see the sky is blue. I see no evidence of your claim about capital letters being factual.
Why does your supposed "quote" say this:
The UCC 1 defines exactly who is the debtor and who is the creditor or secured party. Your name in all capital letters is the debtor and your name with initial capitals and the rest lower case letters, is you, the secured party.
When the document you linked says this:
here IS a point when they switched over to creating all certificates in caps
But I thought the whole upper case thing is supposed to be from "common law" which originated with the Romans. All that capitis diminutio minima nonsense.
It would be great if you could find an actual written law about it.

This might help:

But you won't find "capital" or "upper case" or "lower case" anywhere in it.

Conclusion: There are no official or unofficial English grammar style manuals or reference publications that recognize the use of full caps when writing a proper name. To do so is considered a legal fiction

Because it doesn't appear in grammar books it has some legal meaning? That's hilarious nonsense.

I'm not here to convince people like you that don't want to be convinced.
If you don't like the thread leave. The only reason you would stay to argue otherwise was if you had some sort of vested interest in having the thread closed or derailed.
