Whats bothering You about this
@Sexypink
Not sure about you but having two different things called the same thing is pretty confusing. kbin is a social media platform for everyone and shouldn't have confusing "gotchas" like this.
And before anyone says it, yes, I know Linux and Unix (except MacOS and Android) are case-sensitive.
There's also a difference between Calorie and calorie. The "Big-C" Calorie is a "kilocalorie" which is 1000 "little-c" calories which is 4.184 joules. I have no idea where I'm going with this but enjoy the shitty science lesson 🤣
Because case sensitivity makes sense in some limited applications but when trying to make something which works for a broad audience it's user unfriendly.
Parenting being different to parenting and pArenting might make sense from a pedantic programming perspective, but from a user perspective it's ridiculous. The fact that you get a 404 for parenting but can't create a magazine called parenting as Parenting exists shows it's a broken system
