The only issue is that the harmful attempt at being helpful be removed. If someone can produce a version of the heuristics that produces more good than harm, then let it be tested (in a test version). Until that, the only reasonable thing is to remove the code that suggests lowercase spelling. I don't think there's any technical difficulty with that - just unwillingness to admit that the idea, at least as implemented, was wrong. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
