given some variables:
nick, NICK, Nick...

what do they contain, and how does their content differ?

I would argue that they *do* contain different meaings.

nick== small chip out of an object

NICK== (eg) National Institute of Crochet and Knitting

Nick== he's just this guy... y' know

Capitalisation *does* matter in English (or any human language that 
uses the Roman alphabet)

But changing the capitalisation does not change the meaning of the word. 
That is one of the important distinctions, and the other is that it's 
difficult to describe capitalisation in the spoken form.
