>It's LaTeX, not Latex. Who cares, really?

  People who cultivate a level of attention to detail that is seen as pedantic by many, but that is utterly essential for creating high quality software.

    Grammar essential for high quality software? Many would disagree. I'd say its only essential for being no fun at parties.

    Maybe we can get some of those people to work on LaTeX. For example, why should the commands for upright Greek letters be different for different fonts? \upalpha for one font, \alphaup for another, and \otheralpha for another -- it's a damn mess. Perhaps someone who's cultivated a level of attention to detail could spend some time fixing this kind of buggy crap, instead of spending time telling people how to properly capitalize LaTeX.
