Re: Proper case function

Gary,

Based on what I read it wouldn't handle cases where the result should be

MacDonald from macdonald.  There are other cases such as the sentence below

('it''s crazy! i couldn''t believe kate mcdonald, leo dicaprio, (terrence)
trent d''arby (circa the 80''s), and jada pinkett-smith all showed up to
[cHris o''donnell''s] party...donning l''oreal lIpstick! They''re heading to
o''neil''s pub later on t''nite. the_underscore_test. the-hyphen-test)

This wouldn't handle the quotes and proper case all of the words.

Best Regards

Mike Gould
