    Good for him. I hate case-sensitivity, and it’s what keeps me going back to DOS & Windows. FILE, File, file, and FilE should all be the same thing at all times.

      “FILE, File, file, and FilE should all be the same thing at all times.” - Sentences from the utterly deranged.

      If these were truly the same thing, you should have not written them differently.

      But you did.

        Remember that 99% of the time that’s gonna be because of a typo for 99% users. They won’t have File.txt, FILE.TXT and FiLe.tXt, they’ll have ReportMay.docx and REportMay.docx or whatever.

        And yeah, that includes me. I don’t want case-sensitivity for that reason alone. Thanks, but no thanks.

          I prefer computers do what I tell them to rather than what it thinks I meant to tell it to. If I screw up, why isn’t it on me to fix it? And why aren’t you proofing data entry before accepting it?
