If everything were case insensitive, it wouldn't cause issues. Indeed; if everything were case-sensitive, or case-insensitive, we definitely wouldn't have these problems. But alas, it's not, and in 2015 here we are still having problems with case sensitivity. :-P > While as a programmer, I prefer the level of precision case sensitivity provides, I'm hard pressed to make the case that it is better for an average computer user. I also personally prefer it ('a' and 'A' are not the same character!!!!), but I'm not sure if thats because it's inherently 'right' or because I'm used to Linux where case sensitivity is more or less a given. :-)
