Dealing w/proper nouns w/lower case initials
Thanks to freaks of nature like "eBay" and Apple ("iPod") we have proper nouns that begin in lower case. What do we do when these words are at the beginning of sentences? I spelled "EBay" at the beginning of a sentence last week, but it looked weird. What's to be done about "xu4" at the beginning of sentences, and for that matter, in titles? The Codex seems a big skitso about it. Ultima IV has it with an upper case initial (at least sometimes) and the name of this article has it that way, too. AngusM 18:07, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd look up some examples of the afore-mentioned proper nouns, but it seems like the solutions are to either (a) stick with the lower-case or (b) avoid situations where they must start a sentence. It isn't that hard. --Polygoncount 18:59, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * This problem comes up excessively rarely, so I'd just say re-write the offending sentences and forget that it ever happened. Dungy 00:08, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
