All-caps is also much harder to read.
You can actually rotate text annotations, but it requires to use the JavaScript console:
Select your text box annotation. I usually use the "Comments List" to select the annotation in question, this way you don't have to figure out if you've selected the annotation or the text in the annotation.
Open up the JavaScript console (Ctrl-J or Cmd-J) and type the following command (this is for a 90 degree rotation, you can set the rotation to 0, 90, 180 or 270):
this.selectedAnnots[0].rotate = 90;
Now place the cursor at the end of the line that you've just entered and use Ctrl-Enter or Cmd-Enter to execute the line. The annotation should be rotated now. Unfortunately, this only affects the contents, and you have to adjust the annotation rectangle.
