That is a difficult question for me, since English is not my mother tongue.
I started with all Caps CHEST, but did not like it myself: it is too much
like shouting. Bob talks of crafty in all lowercase, but I do not like
that best, since it is not a normal word of the language. It is a name,
and so I decided to write it the same way I write my own name, with a
capital first letter: Chest.
Someone with a better knowledge of English may correct me, my reasoning may
violate some established rule I don't know about.
Cheers,
Heiner
