Hi all,

Sorry about hijacking the thread. I asked for eons ago and was told not to expect incoming title casing. Then, either through programming or by the right combination of settings with meta data lookup, the issue automagically became a forgotten one. Until I would see a title that had skated through the process to stand there in it's non-title case defiance. I SHOULD be able to accept 98 percent success. I have no right NOT to accept it. But I plead guilty to a case of the niggles.

It's funny how the internet makes the whole world a small neighbourhood. In the last few posts, I see responses from around the globe. The French and Spanish speakers are the most aggrieved (legitmately), with the most accent marks to boot. We English speakers, of course, only keep accent marks with words we filch from other languages, French chiefly. Of course, we have our own specialist enclave here in Canada with les Québecois. Such is the laziness of the modern day reader that it's even permissable to use Quebecois and not strike up the most strident of language protectionists from la Belle Province. And outside of France itself, our good neighbours one province east are as protectionist as any around.

Good Doctor, I'm very aware of the ability to manually set title case. I was, and still am, talking about the import of dozens of essays. Hundreds at semester end. There was a time when added books en masse came in as they were. I stumped for the setting to be at least an option, if not the default, with the plea apparently falling on deaf ears. Then, some months later, automagically, title case became the norm through the addition process. I am thankful.

But as the orphan in Oliver bravely asked, "More?"

Kovid has declined my feature request as it falls outside his current work spectrum. He didn't give me hope that would ever change. Oh well.
