General - Capitalisation of city names in addresses
I grew up with the idea ('70s & '80s) that in addressing, you should capitalize the name of cities. Does that (still) make sense?
Historical origins
The custom of printing the location (city or sometimes even the state) in uppercase letters in addresses comes from a tradition of emphasizing key elements of addresses for clarity and ease of reading. Here are some of the main reasons behind it:
- Postal Efficiency and Legibility: In the early days of organized postal systems, capitalizing city names in addresses was a way to make key information stand out, especially when handwriting was the norm. This practice helped postal workers quickly identify the destination city, which was critical for sorting and routing mail accurately
- Standardization by Postal Authorities: Postal services in various countries, particularly in the United States and Europe, developed specific formatting standards to make it easier for postal machines to read addresses. Using capital letters for cities (and sometimes states or countries) became a common standard that persists in some contexts to this day
- Emphasis and Hierarchy in Written Communication: Capitalizing the location in an address provides a visual hierarchy, signaling that this part of the information is distinct from the street address or building number. This convention creates a logical structure in the address format, with each line moving from the specific (street and number) to the broader (city, state, country)
- Typewriter Legacy: When typewriters were widely used, uppercase letters were more legible than lowercase, especially since many typewriters lacked fonts that distinguished lowercase letters well. Uppercase letters for locations became a typographic convention that remained even after typewriters were no longer the primary writing tool
- International Mailing Standards: For international mail, capitalizing the city, state, or country name in addresses has become a standardized practice to help postal workers who may not be familiar with the language or script of the address. Using uppercase letters for locations makes them more universally readable.
Use uppercase in general?
To exand on this: I've heard once that it easier to the eye, to use all-caps typewritten language:
- Uniform Height and Line Consistency: In all-uppercase text, letters are roughly the same height, so the eye doesn’t need to adjust to the variation between tall (like "t" and "h") and short (like "e" and "o") letters. This can make words feel more stable and structured, making it easier for the eye to scan and quickly recognize the shapes of words
- Distinctive Block Shapes: Capital letters form blockier, simpler shapes that are easier to distinguish at a glance, which can improve readability, particularly in situations where quick recognition is more important than extended reading comprehension (like labels, addresses, or signage)
- Typewriters and Early Printing Limitations: In the typewriter era, monospaced fonts (where each letter took up the same width) and uppercase letters allowed for more consistent alignment, which can create a uniform appearance that is visually pleasing and easy to follow, especially when dealing with numbers or tabular data.
However, there are some serious issues with using all-caps texts:
- Word shapes: this benefit only applies to short text. For longer reading, lowercase letters generally improve readability because of distinct word shapes formed by ascenders and descenders (the parts of letters that rise above or fall below the typical height of lowercase letters, like "b" and "p"). These word shapes help readers recognize words faster, making lowercase easier to read in large paragraphs
- Shouting? Using all-caps, seems like shouting - Not nice
- cAPS-LOCK? Or is the writer technically challenged, and/or isn't aware that the caps-lock key has been pressed?
Conclusions
I continue to use city names in uppercase, especially in more formal settings, like around webshops. The reason for this (not mentioned above): Addresses in different countries, can be quite unintelligable to the uninitiated. By writing the city/town/village in uppercase, there is at least one part of the address, that is clearly the city - At least, if you're familiar with this habit.
I don't use all-capitals for other parts of addresses, except when obviously so, like the letters in Dutch postal coded.
Europe - English - Euro
How about a webshop like this:
- In English
- Euro (€) only
- Audience: Worlwide, but mainly focused on Europe, as delivery becomes quite bad, the further away from home you get, but within Europe, probably not for BE, CH, DE, FR, NL, as there are good alternatives serving these countries (in multiple languages).

Verschillen met Nederland
Er zijn een paar punten waarin Vlaamse webwinkels verschillen van Nederlandse webwinkels, naast uiteraard een hoop overeenkomsten:
- Tutoyeren: Gebruik eerder u ipv. je/jij
- KvK-nummer → Ondernemingsnummer. Dit is tevens het BTW-nummer in België
- BTW lijkt in Vlaanderen ook BTW te heten [6][7]
- De KvK heeft in Vlaanderen een andere functie dan in Nederland - Als het even kan, deze term helemaal niet gebruiken. Is waarschijnlijk ook niet nodig.

- Bankoverschrijving is een gebruikelijke betaalmethode in China. Echter, de in Nederland gebruikelijke SEPA-overschrijving voldoet niet, want China/Azië heeft een ander systeem voor bankrekeningnummers. Je hebt dus een aangepaste plugin nodig.

- payments - the most popular are: payment by card (Visa, MasterCard, Carte Bleue), bank transfer and PayPal as well as virtual wallets e.g. PayLib and virtual card (e-Carte Bleue)

Behavior & habits
Language
Space before punctuation marks
In French, there is a space before a question mark and probably most other punctiation marks. E.g.: Perdu(e) ?
Title capitalization
French title capitalization refers to the rules and conventions for capitalizing words in titles, headings, and headlines in the French language. In French, title capitalization is different from English capitalization:
- The first word of the title is capitalized.
- Proper nouns (names of people, places, etc.) are capitalized
- Other words, such as prepositions, articles, and conjunctions, are typically not capitalized unless they are the first word of the title.
Examples
- "The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland" - "Les aventures d'Alice au pays des merveilles": Only "Les" and "Alice" are capitalized because they are the first word and a proper noun
- "Par Marque" as a menu or page title, should be → "Par marque"
Chambre de Commerce
Probably best to write Chambre de Commerce with capitals, rather than Chambre de commerce or chambre de commerce.
Some alternatives:
- Numéro de la Chambre de Commerce - More complete, but probably less readable
- Numéro Chambre de Commerce - Surely understandable, but could be seen as a minor language error
- No. Chambre de Commerce - Better than Numéro Chambre de Commerce
VAT
- "Numéro de TVA" - Usually preferred
- "Numéro de TVA intracommunautaire" - More accurate, but probably usually not the best choice
- "TVA" - When it has to be short
Chambre de Commerce + VAT
Combining these two entities while keeping it short, I usually opt for:
* Chambre de Commerce: 12345 * Numéro de TVA: 23456
Addresses
The order of objects in French addresses, is the same as in Dutch:
Street address
Postal code

Most popular online stores - Oct. 2021
Payment methods - French - Sep. 2020
The three most popular payment methods in 2020:
- La carte bancaire: This is a collective name for payment via debit cards and credit cards, including payment methods via parties such as MasterCard, Visa, Carte Blue, Maestro and American Express
- Paypal
- Le virement bancaire or virement: Traditional bank transfer.
Other methods & details
- Carte Blue: This payment method is listed above under carte bancaire. This is a debit card. Distinctive to Carte Blue: Payments can be made without prior permission from the cardholder. Perhaps comparable to automatic collections in the Netherlands
- PayLib: The Paylib digital wallet is supported by major banks such as BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole and Societé Generale
- E-Carte Bleue: Virtual payment method, allowing payments without disclosing personal data
- OB: The logo of this (presumed?) payment method can be seen in the image next to it. Further details are unknown to me
