#Java starts the names of primitive types with lower-case letters and all others with upper-case letters.
#Csharp *could* do that.
Or, reasonably, it could use capitalization to distinguish between value types (like ints and structs) and reference types (like classes).
But no. C# uses this to indicate whether a type is *predefined*. So string and object, unlike all other classes, start with lower-case letters.
Worse, string and object are actually aliases for System.String and System.Object, respectively.
Why would you add aliases to make things *less* consistent?

@peterdrake To be fair, *all* predefined types have associated upper-named classes, not just string and object. I.e. int has System.Int32
