Details

This patch attempts to permanently fix the inconsistent mixture of "Title Case" and "Sentence case" in english.lang by applying "Sentence case" to the entire file.

I suggested we do this in a post to the rockbox-dev mailing list last year, but that just ended in a very split discussion with no conclusion.

I'm not sure if this patch wil result in anything different, but I made it for my own use, and thought I would post it, as there were a fair number of posters to that discussion that also prefered sentence case.

The old discussion:

EDIT: I forgot to say this patch also changes a couple of uses of "center" to "centre"...

My eyes still prefer title case.

Why is UK spelling wanted? Why was "center" (U.S.) switched to "centre" (U.K.)?

Because Rockbox uses UK English.

I personally like the idea of sentence case better than inconsistancy. We should keep to one format as discussed in fs#10003 with espanol.lang and American VS. Spain spanish.
