uppercasing
Shifting to capitals
Uppercasing is the act of converting lowercase letters to their uppercase equivalents, or writing something in all capital letters.
In computing and word processing, uppercasing is a common text transformation function.
The term appears most often in technical contexts: The script handles uppercasing of user input automatically.
Someone might also refer to uppercasing for emphasis in casual writing, though this practice is often equated with shouting in digital communication.
