We get "11a" instead of "11A" and other weird capitalization because the forum software changes the case of letters in the subject line.

It also apparently changes "or" to "OR."

I have been harsh on the "a" vs "A" posters. Now I know. My apologies.

It looks much, much, worse if you remove it.

Some people post in all caps, some in all lower case, wE eVeN gEt pEopLe tHaT Do tHiS cRaP.

The place looks like a bunch of kindergartners are posting.

I can make tweaks to it but I will not remove it.

I just fixed the "11a" issue and the "or" issue. It was capitalizing because it's the abbreviation for Oregon.

Another case where this is annoying is when we put a stamp type in like "plate 2 type II" comes out "plate 2 type Ii" Same happens with IV VI III etc. Would be cool if this could be addressed.
