I am in favour of only the first letter beeing a capital. All in capitals don't mean it's an acronyme like in French? You write Mr for Mister, not MR, cause it's only one word, an abreviation, Ctrl is for Control, so why use capitals everywhere? Edited: 2015-11-17, 16:27

I second Vassili's argument: Capitalized words make me think of an acronym. I also find that the word stands out too much inside the running text. "Only few people know how much one has to know in order to know how little one knows." - Werner Heisenberg

I prefer all capitals, exactly because it stands out in running text. Besides, I normally expect real words, when they’re title case (at least I don’t find an exception atm – if you find one, tell me). Two is the oddest prime.

The key names are proper nouns, so why should they not be capitalized in English? Busy indexing nil values
