@jcsteh @juliette as a sighted user I concur with your last sentence, I’ve seen lowercase hashtags that were quite confusing.

It makes me remember the domain name ExpertsExchange.com, which can very easily be read ExpertSexChange.com when written in lowercase

@juliette @joachim Haha, yeah, I remember reading about a bunch of unfortunate domain names like that years ago and being very amused.

@jcsteh @juliette @joachim There's quite a few examples of all lowercase hashtags being misinterpreted. Eg. When Margaret Thatcher died and "Thatcher is dead" was trending, some people thought it meant that the singer Cher had died:

"Have you heard " versus "Have you heard "

(For those who can see it, I've used Pascal Case above for the benefit of screen readers but imagine it was the all lowercase instead).
