Excellent point and one i had not considered. From an Anglocentric point of
view, it makes sense, but perhaps not in other languages.
I can look at the sting file later on and see what there is to see there.

building Printing Press" where the "p" in press is currently not
capitalized. This is line #579.

case morph a String Template object to a String object).
