Uppercasing first letters of some words in descriptions

Does anyone else think it's really silly to have php & scripts & whatnot type up proper English?

This thread seems to be wandering a bit off course. As far as link lists go, I don't see any value in using code to correct something that should have been submitted properly to start with.

If a submitter does not understand title case and sentence case, they either can't read, won't read or just don't understand. It's back to the drawing board for them.

If I rejected every submission with a typo in the title or description, I wouldn't have much to list.

With the amount of description editing a reviewer does, there's little point to demanding absolute perfection. If i can use three lines of code to begin the editing process for me, you bet I will.

If anyone is wondering what I'm doing up at 4AM - I woke up to something howling at 2:30 and haven't been able to sleep since. I think it was my bi-polar neighbor. He does that.

My experience has been if they don't get it at least close on the first attempt, they seem to think it's cute to go back months later and add a few extra outbound links. I don't mind fixing minor things but I don't care to be repaid with shit like that. Maybe I just attract flies

I was under the impression that the first-letter-capitalised-only thing was a pretty strict rule, something to do with screwing up scripts or something, so I've deliberately not used a capital letter for names in the body of my descriptions just in case I got rejected.

It always looks wrong to me, so I guess I'll start doing it properly!
Yay!
