    eg C's assignment operator still trips me up

    if(a=1) { ...} /* launch nuclear weapons */

    when I meant

    if(a==1) {.. } /* launch nuclear weapons */

    and why do we still have case sensitivity, it just means a second pass through my code correcting the syntax

      case sensitivity is sensible

      It's laughable how many windows filesystem kernel API can't be used at various interrupt levels solely because they require use of code table for operating on filenames in a case insensitive way.

      I'm sure MS regret case insensitive file systems.

      And we wonder: if E folds to e, does ê map to e, and if so, when?

      The fact is, they are different, case is meaningful, so enjoy it and make it mean something.
