7-ELEVEn, why is n lowercase?
I wonder if you have noticed that the "n" of "7-ELEVEn" is lowercase?
doesn’t remind you and feels very coordinated. Once you remind someone, you will feel a little awkward. There have been various interesting interpretations about this lowercase n:
① The first statement comes from Wikipedia in Japan: Because when it was registered at that time, general nouns (numbers) were not allowed to be registered as trademarks in the US trademark law.
② Another way of saying it is: 7-11 means 7 am to 11 pm, and the lowercase "n" is to remind customers that eleven is at night. This statement has been recognized by some 7-Eleven clerks on social media.
③The third statement is: Because the lowercase "n" is very similar to the corner of the street, it is usually very similar to the location of a store in 7-11. There is also a saying that the lowercase "n" represents this meaning.
④The last folk saying: has Feng Shui theory in Chinese areas. The last stroke of the capital "N" is outward, which means that the money will be dispersed, while the lowercase "n" ends inward, like a magnet, which will attract money. It is a superstitious daily routine
However, this case mixing situation only appears in the trademarks of 7-11, and in the written materials, it will still be written as: 7‑Eleven.
