Jürgen Gmach <juergen.gm...@googlemail.com> added the comment: I did some more research.
It looks like US English tends to use `lowercase`, while British English tends to `lower case`, and as an alternative to `lowercase` you can also use `lower-case` when using it as an adjective. See also https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lowercase So, to wrap up: - you could use lowercase and uppercase as a noun, as an adjective and as a verb - you can use lower case and upper case only as a noun - you can use lower-case and upper-case only as an adjective If that is true - I am no native English speaker, and Éric does not like to convert them all to single words, it gets a bit tougher. Some - to me - obvious wrong usages would be: "All IMAP4rev1 commands are supported by methods of the same name (in lower-case)." => in lower case or in lowercase "All POP3 commands are represented by methods of the same name, in lower-case; most return the response text sent by the server." => in lower case or in lowercase "Wrapper around a file that converts output to upper-case." => to upper case or to uppercase "Return a new UUID, in the format that MSI typically requires (i.e. in curly braces, and with all hexdigits in upper-case)." => in upper case or in uppercase "Hostnames are compared lower case." => lower-case or lowercase Éric, are you ok with my suggested changes or do you want me to close the issue? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44045> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
