English (and other Latin-alphabet languages) is mostly case-INsensitive. There's sometimes a difference between Bill and bill, but bILL, BILL, bIlL are just silly versions of the same word.
There are some conventions in some c-based languages of using a symbol with a leading Capital letter, and a different, but related symbol spelled the same except for a leading lower-case letter. Beyond that, I doubt there's much sense in case-sensitivity outside of obfuscated code contests. Best practices in c-type coding have fairly strict spelling rules to avoid the madness. HLASM has it right. sas On 2/28/2014 11:28, Kirk Talman wrote:
In human language based communication with other humans, case-sensitivity is meaningful and helpful. In any communication with automatons (except data entry), case-insensitivity is more human-friendly and can be easily tolerated by the machine(s).
