The reason is that tools such as the Mileage Monkey or the Great Circle Mapper don't care about the case, so one can just copy the string and paste it in without having to then delete all the 'x' notations (and even worse is when, as some people do, the airline code for each flight is also interspersed). The logic behind this method is simple: when asking for help, one should always try to make it as easy as possible for potential helpers.

MileageMonkey actually works just fine with the 'x' notations. Further more, I've always been under the impression that the airport codes are always keyed out in capitals to let the reader read them as such (i.e. read them as airport codes).
FWIW, I doubt any of my queries (or the way they were keyed out) here made it less easy for the potential helpers.
YMMV
