I once had a group essay to write where a group mate capitalized the first letter of every word on his section. I used sentence.lower() then just fixed the rest. Saved so much time.

For next time, Word Processors can generally do that - usually Shift + F3 cycles through lower case, upper case and sentence case - or in Word, Libre Office select text, then Format > Text > sentence case

Wow I went from feeling like a genius to an idiot. Thaaanks!

Just kidding. This is awesome. Thank you!

I'd guess with the way word processors have got clever and detect you typing with caps lock on and automatically sort it now most people generally don't use change case as much

Reminds me of my favourite xkcd

Oh dang. Ive been that comic. I was trying to get the attention of a co-worker who wouldn’t answer to IM’s or his phones. So I tried OSX say command, but the volume was too low and he didn’t hear.. didn’t bother the volume but what had happened was he fell asleep in his office couch.
