Except that it is essentially impossible not to understand which school 
Snit was referencing despite the slight difference in case. Whether you 
write it as Georgetown or GeorgeTown, the city cited is the same. In 
fact, I would go as far as to say that the GeorgeTown casing is a lot 
more appropriate considering it is a Town which was originally called 
George and became known as Georgetown with time.

Either way, what a stupid debate. I respectfully withdraw from it and 
retract any statements I've made in the past in support of 
case-insensitivity. Clearly, it's ideal in some areas.
