I'm afraid that some readers see no distinction between Words with capitals and words With no Capitals. I sometimes See such abuses from youngsters (i.e. first-year university students in Glasgow and Vancouver), but more Often in writing from ESL countries such as China. Yes, I Even see it in academic writing which reviewing conference and journal submissions. I suppose I should be thankFul that at least they don't randomly capitalize letters within words. All snarkiness aside, I personally wouldn't assume that the writer of a document intended anything special by "Patch Handler" vs. "patch handler". So I think this is a good change. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
