This one's puzzled me and I'm sure there's a simple answer:

For address and transactions etc. I find a lot of people using all lower case (which is a pain for me as I do not have front end/back end integration. E.G.:

joe smith
123 main street
anytown, us 12345

Is there a reason for this? Is it a fraud security issue?

It's the same guys that misspell "the" as "teh".
