That's pretty wrong, actually. The word "dog" is a noun that refers
to canines. The word "Dog" would be a proper noun; the name of a person
or place. The word "DOG" would be an acronym.

Personally, when I see "htmlEntities()" my brain tells me that's
different from "htmlentities()", and it wouldn't be wrong, strictly
speaking.

In the end it's really just personal opinion. Yours is just one of
many, and I happen to disagree with it.
