Hey everyone,

Quick question..why would I use the text transform property when I could just type it how I want it?

Thanks for your time.

Could be many uses/applications.

For example, you type it capitalized (Capitalized Words) but maybe on mouse-over you want it displayed uppercase (CAPITALIZED WORDS).

Flexibility, and it helps separate structure from presentation - the entire purpose of CSS.

less action for users, they don't need necessary action when your page can do a lot for them.

Text-transform is an incredibly useful CSS property, yet one of the most underused. This property allows you to control the capitalization effects, and it converts upper case to lower case of the text in HTML.
