Care to name any programming language that cares about the spelling
of user defined identifiers?


COBOL, FORTRAN, C, BASIC, ALGOL, assembly language ... most of them.
The spelling has to be consistent, it has to be different from any
reserved words, it sometimes has to be unique within a certain number
of characters and/or free of case-insensitive duplication, and so on.
The spelling may also be restricted by data type (such as the implicit
typing of FORTRAN based on the first letter of an identifier).

None of this has anything to do with aviation, however, so perhaps
it's best to just drop it.



You don't have anything to do with aviation either, fjukkwit.
