You don't have to change your programming habits to match my programming
habits. You do, however, need to match the requirements of the language.
In PHP, for instance, you don't have an IDENTIFICATION-DIVISION (Cobol)
nor a FORMAT statement (Fortran).
Don't like it? Don't use it. But don't expect the rest of the world to
change just because YOU don't like it. Nobody put you in charge!
Or, create your own language which is case insensitive, build
compilers/interpreters needed to use it, and get people to use it. Then
you will be in charge, and can make the rules.
