Not necessarily true, for example poetry / lyric titles frequently use title case. For menu settings I'd argue they're titles, and not sentences, eg: MP visits India on trade visit (sentence headline). vs. MP at Home (title headline). Title case in British English is more formal, more grand - it's a matter of taste, nor correctness. -- glReceived on 2008-08-18 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
