Subject: RE: How well understood is sentence case?
Craig asked: <<Is there a well understood term for describing a string
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. <g>
Sentence case refers to this sort of capitalization.
Title Case Is Used for Headings.
