Well, Hyman, I think you're just messing with me, but how is your
sentence different than "you are 100% wrong!"

Which words changed meaning?

Certainly by convention there is a difference of emphasis with all

int CUP;  // the critical variable for this function!
int cup;  // a much-less important variable

Always a good suggestion, but not, maybe, for the reasons you imagine!

SO THERE!
