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

They sort to the top of the list.

 Some cow orkers accomplish that by prefixing the name with an
exclamation mark.  This sets my teeth on edge.  If you're trying
to section off a group of names, why not use a subdirectory?

But I don't want that. Nor that I can.
I just like some directories in my home folder to sort earlier in the GUI. "Documents", "Photos", etc do this fine.
Oh, and sometimes I also symlink to a lower case version of the name.
