Most people see the second and read it as 'whore presents'. That was

So you think that 'E' and 'e' should be the same letter? What about
these: É, é, Ë, ë, Ê, ê
How about C, c, Ç and ç?
Case-insensitivity is a difficult issue involving character sets,
encodings, collations, etc. But even if you stick to plain old ASCII,
just remember that 69 != 101.
