All words lowercase - capitalization is lost #32

I noticed abbreviations and proper nouns are all lowercased unfortunately. Eg: iso.

I don't think that's entirely accurate. I found 78,947 strings in words.txt that include capital letters, many of which appear to be meaningful. A few samples, as they appear in the file:

When sorted alphabetically (using unix sort command), "ISO" is entry 34,630. I found "iso-" at index 240,130. I suspect that's the entry you're seeing, although I'll admit I don't know which file you're looking in.
