Default Re: HELP: Why is PR different on URL when capitalized instead of Lowercase ?

In some instances I could see that. PR = PageRank or Press Release Pr = The abbreviation for pair. Same with St = Saint or st = The abbreviation for street.

However, IMO it's more basically along the lines of how an operating system/server may recognize case being 2 separate pages and the need for SE's to treat it as such when indexing. There's nothing to prevent someone using the same URL in different case structure for 2 totally different pages. Not that I suggest this but as long as there are operating systems that are case sensitive it needs to be respected.
