<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Text sometimes exhibits '''case sensitivity'''; that is, words can differ in meaning based on differing use of [[uppercase]] and [[lowercase]] letters. Words with [[capital letter|capital letters]] don't always have the same meaning when written with lowercase letters. For example, Bill is the first name of former U.S. president Bill Clinton, who could sign a bill (which is a proposed law that was approved by Congress). And a Polish person can use polish to clean something.<br /> <br /> When a computer program compares two words to decide whether they are the same, it might or might not apply case sensitivity, depending upon the programmer’s intent.<br /> <br /> Case sensitivity is relevant to:<br /> <br /> * usernames<br /> * passwords<br /> * filenames<br /> * tags<br /> * commands<br /> * variable names<br /> * website addresses<br /> * searching for a text string within electronic text<br /> ==See Also==<br /> * [[uppercase|UPPERCASE]]<br /> * [[lowercase]]</div>
