Subject:RE: How well understood is sentence case? From:Yves JEAUROND <jingting -at- rogers -dot- com> To:Techwr-l <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Mon, 14 May 2007 13:34:28 -0400 (EDT)
Could the word we are looking for be "name"?
"Type your name / the name of your account."
Aside from a few oddities (e.e. Cummings) real names
always start with a capital letter. Describing one-word input
as x-case or y-case is overkill.
And thank you for the "camel case" reminder.

Craig asked: <of characters where the first letter is uppercase and the rest are
lowercase?
Title Case seems "official," sentence case less so.>>
It depends on your audience. For editors, sentence case and title case
are common terms. For construction people, probably not.
Sentence case refers to this sort of capitalization.
Title Case Is Used for Headings.
