I have a serial terminal which can only do lower case (well, actually capitals but it's all mapped to lower case since that's more useful). When I write code on it, I can't do capital letters. But do I try to _force_ you to use only capitals because of my limited terminal? No. I don't. I can see what you've written just fine, within the limitations of my terminal. So why are you trying to force me not to spell things correctly?
