Fsnotes: Upper Case → Uppercase / Lower Case → Lowercase

In English, the more common spelling of these menu items would be:

• Make Uppercase
• Make Lowercase

Instead of:

I dont' have a preference as to how this should be done, but in TextEdit macOS Notes, and Script Editor, Apple uses:

Make Upper Case
Make Lower Case
Capitalize

Apparently Upper Case, Uppercase and Upper-Case are all valid English.

• Microsoft (Word) uses Uppercase, which probably explains the increase in usage of that form since the 1980s
• Apple uses Upper Case, I think we should stick to the macOS way

Personally, I use separate words because of the history of the term. Physical letter forms were stored in the upper/lower physical storage cases, ready for typesetting.

Ok, I'll concede. It's best to follow standards set by Apple.

The text editors I use (Textmate and Visual Studio Code) both use the single-word variants. Then, when I saw this n-gram chart, it seemed irrefutable 😜

Thanks for the history, @gingerbeardman, I have a new appreciation for the Cases.

I hold Microsoft responsible 😆
