"Not necessarily. The existance of the convention allows you to
"pronounce" the case difference by using the meaning of the

am unusual, but I have participated/overheard conversations a zillion
times that go like:

type in command bla bla

I did, it said unrecognized command

Oh sorry, the M is upper case
