Either email addresses are case insensitive, or they aren't. Everything on t'interwebs agrees that they are.

Except Microsoft account verification...
I'm old fashioned, and I like my email with initial caps: "P***.G***@S***-M***.com" and that's how I always enter it.
Microsoft accepts that, and because emails aren't case sensitive, they lower case it when they store it as your Windows account name.
Except when they ask you to verify it...
That doesn't match the alternate email associated with your account. The correct email starts with "p***".

Even worse, when you do lowercase it they effectively confirm that you got it right, while pretending they aren't!
If p***.g***@s***-m***.com matches the email address on your account, we'll send you a code.

Consistency. Don'tcha just love it? Sigh | :sigh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
