Ah, but do you intend to imply that "BecAUSe peopLE arE CaSE senSITive,
as YOU CAn noW see" has a different _MEANING_ from "Because people are
case sensitive, as you can now see?"  The fact is that most people are
_NOT_ case sensitive with respect to the _MEANINGS_ of the words.  So,
computer languages probably shouldn't let case effect the meaning either.
