Just have to remember to quote, but when you use shell expansions or
globbing, and then things get a bit trickier.

I do admit, I tend to do this a bit, as I like to capitalise nouns (I'm
a capitalist, you see).  But somtimes I think to myself, "why are you
doing this?"

My German is very rusty but I find it much more logical than English. If
it's a noun, capitalize it. It is particularly helpful in these divisive
times when you can get into a flame war over a capital.
