Closed ax3l closed 6 months ago

Just to keep the intentional spelling (for recognition).

Thanks for the counter-edit.

I understand that the "open" has an initial lowercase letter, but normal rules of English are that words are given an initial uppercase letter when they occur at the start of the sentence. On the other hand, there is also the rule that symbols (including scientific unit symbols, certain abbreviations, certain brand names) are case-invariant, and the potential conflict is resolved by a further rule that symbols never occur at the start of a sentence.

I believe we can both be happy if you could recast the text so that "openPMD" does not start a sentence, e.g. "The openPMD standard...", "The openPMD specification...", or similar.
