A case where case sensitive may be useful is when a proper noun is
different to the common noun,

eg: Smith (A person's last name) vs smith (a person who works with metal)
       Hope (A person's first name) vs hope (a feeling)

but saying that it might be worth having a setting on the tagged
journals entries block to pick case insensitivity (and even have it 'on'
by default.

Title:
  tagged journal entries artefact is case sensitive

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  New

Bug description:
  Mahara 15.04
  Sorry I didn't pick up on this during testing, but the tags chosen in the tagged journal entries artefact are case sensitive.
  So for example if over time I use the following tags to tag my journals "PDR", "Pdr" and "pdr".

  And then I add a block of tagged journal artefact and choose "pdr"
  none of the "PDR" or "Pdr" entries show up.

  I suppose my question is, is there any reason why tags are case sensitive? I would seem it creates more work and is not intuitive. I know I "should" be choosing "PDR" every time, but the only time someone finds out they "should" have is when it's too late...
  Unless there is a good use case I would suggest case insensitive tags is the way to go.

  Cheers,
  Shane.
