## Issue
Attempting to register as `Administrator` gives the impression it will succeed until you press Create New Account. Trying with `administrator` correctly presents the username as disallowed.
## Reproduce
1. Press Sign Up button in the upper right corner.
2. Enter valid email and password.
3. Enter username: `Administrator`
4. The text “Your username is available” appears.
5. Press Create New Account.
6. The text “That username is not allowed.” appears at the top.
7. Enter username: `administrator`
8. The text “Not available. Try administrator1?” appears.
