Q:  How do I type a single, capital letter on any device (you might be surprised how many of us incorrectly use Caps Lock to type a single capital letter)?

A:  To make a capital letter, hold the shift key with your pinky finger while clicking a letter key.  There are two shift keys.  Use your left pinky to hold the shift key if the capital letter you want is on the right side of the keyboard (use your right hand to click on the letter), and use your right pinky to hold the shift key if the capital letter you want is on the left side of the keyboard (then use your left hand to click on the letter).
