Single word casing not working as expected

[dommyzee]

I've noticed that single word casing isn't working. For example

string text = "WOOLWICH";

// --- Working ---
// Expected: WOOLWICH
// Actual: WOOLWICH
text.Transform(To.AllCaps); 

// Expected: woolwich
// Actual: woolwich
text.Transform(To.LowerCase);

// --- NOT Working ---
// Expected: Woolwich
// Actual: WOOLWICH
text.Transform(To.SentenceCase);

// Expected: Woolwich
// Actual: WOOLWICH
text.Transform(To.TitleCase);

This is the expected behavior. All caps is considered an extreme case and is usually left untouched. The reason for this is that all-caps is usually an indication of acronym (e.g. HTML) in which case you really don't want to mess with it. The only transformation that does change that is ToLower and the thinking behind that was that if you DO decide to mess with an all-caps you should have a way; so you could go text.Transform(To.LowerCase) to make it all lower case or text.Transform(To.LowerCase | To.TitleCase) to turn it into title case.

I hope this answers your question.

Going to close this now; but happy to discuss further.

The combination you provided worked perfectly!

This puzzled me too. I'm using Humanizr to prettify addresses that have been stored entirely capitalised, some of these will be single word strings and some won't.

Might be worth adding a note to the documentation that any capitalised upper case string of any length is considered an acronym.

Other than that, great library!

Good point. You know you can send me a PR for that, right? :)

You got it!
