      Do people actually write SQL in all caps? Ever since I was a boy I’ve always written SQL (and HTML) in lower case.

        I do it because it helps me visually separate SQL keywords from table and column names.

        Helps especially when your SQL is embedded in another file so there is no syntax highlighting.

        SQL is an Old Language of Ancient Power. You have to write the keywords in all caps.

        (Fortran is basically the same, but it’s rarer. Lisp is too, but you don’t need to capitalise everything, as the Ancient Power is contained in the parentheses.)

        They’re both acronyms, so yes? You always write acronyms in upper case.

        Structured Query Language (SQL)

        HyperText Markup Language (HTML)

        Some exceptions to the rule exist, like “Database” is usually abbreviated as Db in acronyms. For instance, IMDb (Internet Movie Database).

        Although considering database is a singular word, it makes sense to lower-case the middle letter of the word, as it wouldn’t be capitalized in the spelled-out word anyway.

        EDIT: On a related note (and one that will really show my age), I always capitalize the i in “Internet.”

        When I was a kid, and before the Internet was publicly accessible, we referred to a collection of internetworked computers as an “internet.”

        Then the “World Wide Web” (WWW) became a big deal in the mid-'90s, which was the first publicly accessible internet of computers and servers. It was super primitive and took like 10 minutes just to load a small image on a mostly-text webpage. We referred to this new global internet as “The Internet.” This was the biggest and most ambitious attempt at building an interconnected series of computers, so we called it The Internet (capital “i”) to differentiate it from a regular internet.

        Fast forward several decades… for so long, the Internet has been such a commonly used term to refer to the World Wide Web. It’s completely taken over the word; we don’t really refer to small computer networks as internets anymore. So there’s no point in differentiating between the two.

        But I remember, and I still keep up the old habit of capitalizing when I’m referring to THE Internet, versus a smaller network of computers.

            SQL is the language. Its name is also an acronym, for “Structured Query Language.”

    Even before I was full on anti-capitalist I was anti-disney. Ive always hated just how… artificial that company has felt. They can make good movies dont get me wrong, but their culture, the people who are fans, scare me.

    So in conclusion I will never have this opportunity. I did write a nice email to Mr.Bezos after canceling prime though.

      I hated them as soon as I figured out that they were taking material from the public domain, and trying to deny other people the right to use the same public domain material. I think I was in middle school when I ran into their copyright bullshit with my Little Mermaid fanfic after I read the Andersen version.
