Talk:Box the compass: Difference between revisions

Line 13:
The Wikipedia article capitalizes, for example, "Southwest by south". However, a google search shows that as a general rule the capitalization will be either "southwest by south" or "Southwest by South". The Wikipedia capitalization could be rationalized as the lower case variation as it would appear at the beginning of a sentence... Anyways, perhaps the task description should either explicitly require one form of capitalization (and I do not much care which, though the Wikipedia form seems awkward) or should explicitly state that capitalization is a non-issue? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 14:50, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 
:That said, theThe current J implementation abuses the information contained in the wikipedia capitalization to deal with one of the wording quirks. (I would prefer to get rid of that abuse but do not want to code so generally that I am explicitly parameterize and support all three forms of capitalization -- at least not if the task does not require it.) --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 15:10, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
