Why is uppercase being based on larger lowercase is so problematic?
It is common in many language's orthographies, and although not
traditional or "normal" for some of us, it has been for many people
for a while.
Look at the n shaped Eng (Ŋ) used in Africa vs the N shaped on use in
Scandinavia, the Azeri schwa or African turned E (Ə) vs. the other
turned E (Ǝ), the n shaped N with long right leg (Ƞ) used in Lakota,
the Latin alpha (ɑ/Ɑ) used in Africa, the r with tail (ɽ) shaped
capital R with tail (Ɽ) vs. that capital R shaped, and other
historical letters. Are these so problematic they will require a new
design? Some of these have been around for less time than the
uppercase eszett.
