people still think that upper/lower case matters in email addresses.................

yes, my boss does
how this guy gets anything done i don't know.

one of our users the other day had a problem with his PC. I don't quite know what was happening (something with his mouse not working or pc locking up) but my boss somehow came to the conclusion that it was his wallpaper...😕
 
well it matters in regular mail, why wouldn't it matter in e-mail?

Just trying to point out the very correct reasoning.

It matters in regular mail? I thought the USPS prefers all uppercase, but nobody does that and we all still get our mail.

If you address a letter to san antonio, tx it'll still get to San Antonio, TX.
 
Uh seriously, it doesn't fvcking matter, so why should it matter if people thinks it matters? because... it doesn't fvcking matter!!! zOMG!

a couple weeks ago, my boss blamed me for the network & scanner going down because i unchecked 'hide extensions in file types' in windows explorer. this is the same guy who double clicks links in web browsers.

yeah, but my boss is the CIO (Chief Information Officer) of the company...
i wonder if we have the same boss because thats exactly something my boss would say. i can't remember if he double clicks links or not. i don't know why, but that really annoys me when people do that.

does he disappear for long periods of time also? maybe when he's gone from my location he;s at your location? lol

please tell me you're joking?

No, I'm not joking. Although addresses are supposed to be in all uppercase, if you use lower case there are other rules where specific elements MUST be capitalized.

now that i think about it, he is gone most of the day...hmm
 
The older generation understands grammar, spelling and punctuation. Granted it's not needed in email addresses, but 'al u yung ppl' could learn a thing or two from them regardless.
 
It is possible to have case sensitive email addresses although most hosts do hot have their systems setup this way anymore
