so how come you wrote your post as case-sensitive? WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SKIP THE SHIFT KEY COMPLETELY? The only reason that case-sensitivity is an issue is because the first computers had limited storage. Full-font alphabets were a luxury, as were unambiguous dates. Now that we have the bandwidth to indulge in mirroring actual human written communication, we should take advantage of it. No? No? Well then please be consistent. Do not use upper AND lower case in your writing and your posts here. Start a trend!
