- Hi Rich,
- I use lower case and hardly any punctuation because I am
- visually impaired and it makes things easier to read for me.
- I also don't indent or use anything I should if I was working
- I am a proofreader for some companies.

- my husband programs in 'c' and he can make the input switch or prompt
- for lower or upper case letters or vice versa. That way no matter what
- the person inputs it will switch it to something recognizable so that
- the program can continue running.
