If I write AIDS, it means that according to my stylistic preferences this particular acronym should be in all uppercase, and my preferences don't suddenly change if I put it into a title. We are not even counting acronyms that *must* have correct mixed case, such as "kB", "dB", "DDoS", "GmbH" and the like. Personally, I think the "title case" transformation is useless. It is almost useless for French, probably useless for other non-English languages, and even if we consider just English it is too content-specific and there's really no sure way to get a result that's right all the time. -- cheers, -ambroseReceived on Tuesday, 22 February 2011 19:42:59 UTC
