Two articles on Norman Friedman's sometimes quixotic attempts to make plain the proper orthography of poet E.E. Cummings name: "For a poet who took such pains with typography as part of his poetic technique, the styling of his name cannot be an indifferent matter."

decapitalization of E. E. Cummings: NOT "e.e. cummings"

and, NOT "e.e. cummings" Revisited

As Friedman notes: "Lower case forms when used by the writer for his own name may imply humility, but when used by others for his name may imply condescension."
