Re: How well understood is sentence case?

[Ken Poshedly <poshedly -at- bellsouth -dot- net>]

I'm still catching up on my backlog of e-mails, so I haven't seen all 
replies to this question.

However, if I recall correctly, it was either from my early newspaper 
days or while I worked as an ad agency copywriter (ecchhh!) that we used:
    * "Initial cap" (now called "sentence case") to refer to a string 
of words where only the first letter of the first word was capped; 
the exception being, of course, capitalizing the first letter of any 
proper noun (such as "I" or a company name or similar).

    "Upper-lower case" (now called "title case") to refer to a string 
of words where the first letter of each word is capped.
