The point I was making is that you would be starting a sentence by

as "is this the start of a sentence?"). As is the case with
Polish/polish having the program second guess the user is not a
good idea (especially if you are typing the works of e e cummings).
Exactly. If I am starting a sentence with iPod or iMac I also don't
want the case changed just because it's the start of the sentence.
I was talking about starting a sentence/word with an Upper Case
letter and having that Upper Case preserved not automatically
changing a lower case first letter in a sentence to upper case due to
its position.
It's not a BBEdit solution, but Typenator will do substitutions and
preserve case. It will also do substitutions based on case (so
bbedit gets changed to BBEdit, for example).
I think the latter is due to it having BBEdit in its dictionary (but
not bbedit) so when it sees a word that is spelled the same as a word
in its dictionary (but in all lower case while its copy has some
upper case) it will replace it. This is the way my spell checker
works (it will replace an all lower case word with a mixed case
version if that is the only version it has).
