UK Border Landing Card lower case [closed]

What happens if you fill the landing card with lowercase letters as normal but neatly?

Is it a problem because it says BLOCK letters. In one visit to UK I filled with lower case letters in the plane an when I read Block Letters I was worried about them not letting me in. So I filled another form and disposed the previous one.

What would have happened if I had tried to give the lower case one?

I can't find an image of the landing card on gov.uk, but Google image search turns up lots of ones like this, where the instruction is "BLOCK CAPITALS". This is different than "block letters", which can include lower case (what Americans call "printing" as opposed to "cursive").

The "real" answer has to be that you should follow the directions.

As a practical matter, I have to fill this landing card out fairly frequently, and I've definitely forgotten and used lower case letters on occasion. Nobody has ever asked me about it. My usual handwriting is fairly clear printing.
