Like anything language related, there will always be multiple ways to standardize it.
• Title case • Initial cap • Book case • Proper capitalization and so on. Choose your poison. *“Title case”* and *“Initial cap”* sometimes are defined as the same thing, but being an armchair editor-type, my seeing the word *“And”* capitalized in a sentence really makes me tilt my head like a puppy. I introduced the phrase *“Book case”* to address the need for some of the words to remain lowercase, but then if you go to capitalizemytitle.com, you'll see nine different ways of defining which words get capitalized or not in any given title, *"APA, Chicago, AP, MLA, BB, AMA, NYT, Wiki, and Email."* The nice thing about standards is there are so many of them! as they say. I went down MacOS's Services rabbit hole, looking to see if there were any way to make BBEdit's Title Case available to Chrome, but it doesn't look like that's going to be a possibility. My thought was 1. Open BBEdit 2. Find the Title Case service 3. Enable or export it somehow, making it available to other apps 4. Go to Chrome 5. Open Chrome Services menu 6. Capture or import BBEdit's Title Case service and thus make BBEdit's Title Case available to anything I have highlighted in Chrome's interface, but… it's not working. Someone smarter than me is going to have to step in and hold my hand. :-Z Doug On Thursday, November 16, 2023 at 7:02:56 AM UTC-8 Kaveh Bazargan wrote: > So it has a list of words like "the" etc that stay as lower case even in > Title case?
