Just so you know, on all of the Dragon Shout pages, specifically Unrelenting Force, the certain letters are different for a reason. Here's why:

Lowercase In Dragon Uppercase In Dragon
aa 1 AA AA
ah 4 AH AH
ei 2 EI EI
ey 9 EY EY
ii 3 II II
ir 7 IR IR
oo 8 OO OO
uu 5 UU UU

As you can see, there is a distinct difference. The two are distinguished because it shows the letter 1 (aa), NOT AA (AA). This is not a mistake - this is exactly as it appears in the game. Please do not change it to all uppercase. Jak Atackka 04:34, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Response[edit]

I'm sorry that you feel so strongly about the subject. You're absolutely right, as far as the spoken tongue goes, 1(aa) and AA(AA) are identical, and yes, the double letters were created to compensate for the lack of physical space by combining commonly combined letters into one character. However, as you conceded, the lowercase is more accurate, since that is how it is written.
I don't think you should just stop contributing to the Dragon Shout pages entirely, simply because an honest mistake was "undo"ed. If you look here, you'll see that there was a very extensive conversation on how to consolidate the pages into a single format. If you feel so inclined, read the conversation and see why we decided as we did. The Roman characters being displayed was done because few people realized that mousing over the text revealed them.
