Hi guys, I was speaking with a native speaker of English and I said "CAP SENSITIVE". He corrected me by "CASE SENSITIVE". I can't find any information on the Internet, but I'm pretty sure you can say CAP SENSITIVE in order to refer only to capital letters. Am I right? Am I wrong? Am I drank? Thanks to all of you guys.

Question

Answer

Case sensitive is correct as you get upper and lower cases.  Caps sensitive means that one cannot use capital letters/upper case letters.

Answer

Ok, thanks for your answer.

Answer

Ciao Vittorio, I know that in LATAM, sometimes people type in all caps in order to avoid needing to add the accent marks and other odd characters.  Ive seen this done even in business settings too.  In USA, however, Ive never seen it done (the all caps thing).  And when referring to case vs cap sensitive, Ive only ever heard ´´case sensitive´´ and the main context that is used, is when entering a password on an online form (like to log in)  Hope this helps
