Nonono, I criticize my own english. I just simply didn't know what they meant.

I think it Is a mistake to simplify if there are standard rules known. After
all, we could easily say, it's easier not to fight through artist intent
with an artist that has all their name in lowercase (matchbox twenty) or
Japanese tracks that have CAPS every second track on a release.

I'm curious, where did the the idea of the exceptions came from?
They are not exceptions. That's a myth.
They are rules.
There are two rules: one for sentence (sentence mode), and one for non
verbal phrases (cap if it match one of the two schemes)
Personally I much prefer standard sentence case because it's much simpler
Being "simpler" doesn't make it "good", or even "better".

It seems rather strange to me, especially the fact that they apply

French. I could see the point of

MLL recently opened-up the can of worms again :p, so I guess it's a

It was a bit messy and I guess I wasn't specially kind myself, given I

No hard feelings MLL?
