One of the comments points out that the URL shortener link at the bottom of the infographic is broken - the actual link is mixed-case, but the infographic is in trendy all caps. A lesson here for both devs and designers - don't make case-dependent urls, and don't force all caps on content that is case-sensitive...
- simoncion 11y ago> ...don't make case-dependent urls... Ehh. If you're running a URL shortener, case-sensitive URLs let your URLs stay short longer. Ditto for things like YouTube's video IDs.
- hueving 11y agoDon't make case-dependent URLs that humans have to type by hand.
- simoncion 11y agoSoft disagree. There's generally nothing wrong with case-sensitive URLs when they're rendered in a font that makes commonly confused characters easily distinguishable. The only problem I can see is when you have to speak such URLs.

- simoncion 11y agoSure. It's not an insurmountable problem. ;)
- skeletonjelly 11y agoYoutube and Imgur rely on case sensitive URLs But you're right, you have do click on them, any transfer requiring typing is susceptible to losing case.
