I 100% agree with this and also your second mail.
There should be also a rule how to continue after a colon ":". IMHO in most cases with a capital letter. E.g.: Wrong: Warning: this is more gas than available in the specified cylinder! Correct: Warning: This is more gas than available in the specified cylinder! What makes the story a little bit difficult is that a single string in the source code notnecessarily ends up as one string in the UI. So one needs to be a careful and always check the final result in the UI. Best regards Stefan -- Stefan Fuchs E-Mail: sfu...@gmx.de <mailto:sfu...@gmx.de>
