Do you prefer to use:

1. Capital letters

2. Lower-case letters

3. Numbers

4. The characters required for the text I am writing to be correct and legible

I came here to write a similar comment. To me it read more like: When driving, do you prefer to a) turn left, b) turn right, c) press the gas pedal, d) press the brake pedal, or e) execute a sequence of actions that get you safely to your destination? There's a good idea here, perhaps, but it's obscured by very weak questions.
