I'm glad you did. I actually use both! On an interactive command
line, I use lower case keywords to avoid hitting shift; in a shell
script, I use upper case for clarity (because the number of times it
is read is proportionally so much greater than the number of times it
is written).

How's that for a twisted justification?
