I'm going to give two bad reasons to keep it this way: 1. backward compatibility :p 2. you are used to having sentences start with capital letter, but this is mostly cultural. German People capitalize almost all Words in a Sentence. It just looks weird too… (There is the other extreme: people who don't seem to know where the shift button on their keyboard is when writing an email.) I'm actually fine with changing it, but I think we should try as much as possible to be consistent. Nele > Eric > > |
