--- Comment #5 from David Chmelik ---
The worst offender is category lists (in menus (kicker, kickoff, top of
applications etc.) & sidebars (in file manager (dolphin, konqueror)) because
are large multiple instances. Second-worst (as is only one thing) is buttons.
The KDE style link is now a dead link. Normally university technical writing
classes are done by English experts (professors or their department's certified
tutors at a British English level) and if your standards (do you have a new
link?) weren't written with their help they're quite likely incorrect.
Please seriously consider my description how it's equivalent to how people
never describe (in capitals) a large sequence of average things they might
during the day ("I opened the Garage Door to go open the Toolbox to get my
Hammer and Nails to work on the Workbench to work on a Wooden Craft Project.)
Whether it's intentional, users who want stricter standards should have opt-out
option, though doesn't break functionality so could be put on wishlist.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429275 --- Comment #4 from David Chmelik --- I'm unsure which things were made titles that normally aren't but sound most odd that way. Besides my examples of categories in kicker menu & systemsettings (development, education, games, graphics, Internet (exception,) multimedia, office, science & mathematics, settings, system, utilities, lost & found, help, power & session, appearance, workspace, personalization, network, hardware, system administration, and many sub-categories,) most the user folders (desktop, documents, downloads, videos, pictures, music,) categories in dolphin (places, remote, recent, search for, devices, subcategories but autostart is done right) and most buttons... on menus, I consider it okay as letters are underlined. I wouldn't call a random category/place/device full of random things (even if some have titles) to be a title in itself, nor recents & 'search for ' or an 'okay' button, or an unnamed network to be entire section headings... maybe one of these last three is a 'worst offender' but it's hard to tell. I could make an argument for most the 'titled' things. I realize the categories kicker & systemsettings probably had people work on separate components or markup areas, and they may consider those titles in themselves... but really, the main creative/titled works there are specific KDE programs, and the entire systemsettings program. Nevertheless, /usr/[local\/]bin, /usr/[local\/]sbin have specific creative works but programmers tend to not capitalize things there. I know most people would find that not overdoing titling would start to look weird, because they forgot how proper nouns worked before the GUI desktop PC era... but I think a few people would like the change. I renamed all my categories in Kicker menu and Dolphin, so maybe that's enough for me... just I end up doing that on almost every installation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429275 --- Comment #3 from David Edmundson --- Pick the top worst specific offender, and lets take a look. I can believe we may have some mistakes, but this report as-is is too vague to be actionable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
