Even in the English language there are words which which can have different
meanings depending on the context, but there are NO circumstances where a
word means one thing when it is in lowercase and something else when it is
in uppercase. The rules change when several words are grouped together in a
sentence. For example, the sentence "He is pissed" can have two possible
meanings:
pissed - meaning "drunk"
pissed - meaning "pissed off" or "unhappy"
There is no such thing as "Pissed with a capital 'P' means drunk" and
"pissed with a lowercase 'p' means unhappy".
The idea that the entire universe should have to change its rules regarding
switching between upper and lowercase just to satisfy a few anomalies
concocted by the master race is laughable.
