it bothers me that when the iPhone displays "Sync in progress" just the S is capitalized...just like "slide to unlock" i think it should be all lowercase, it just looks like crap when im syncing

Sentences usually start with capital letters.

Sentences usually start with capital letters.

Titles like that usually capitalise every word as well. Depends what your style is.

I guess if symmetry's what he wants they could do something like "Sync in progresS". ;)

Timmypv15, don't blame the iPhone, it's only trying to teach you good grammar. Things like sentences, thread titles and posts should usually start with a capital letter. If you have your way we could end up with an iPhone that says "Snk n prgr3s m8".

ugh
was simply making an observation that it would look nicer as Sync In Progress or sync in progress
im not demanding anything

hence why im not a fan of forums

and if we are playing "state the obvious" then sentences also have periods....

Yes but the iPhone does say "slide to unlock" which I like. Think I'm with Tim on this one.

Haha, yeah. Sorry, I'm in a funny mood tonight. Anyway, you *can* change the text to whatever you'd like quite easily, someone did it on here but I can't find the thread just now.

Geeze, it was just a bit of a joke pointing out how picky some people are. No reason for name calling. I just thought this was a pointless thread. So what if there is only one word capitalized? Is it life changing? Is it a mac rumor? Does it make you laugh or have any other value? No. Does anyone really think the Apple software engineers are hard at work trying to fix this issue? I'm pretty sure they're probably tied up with more important issues, you know, like keeping the iPhone from crashing every time you surf the web while listening to tunes, or trying to keep up with all the other demands of the community. I'm just sick and tired of people nit-picking every single little thing with the iPhone. It's not perfect and the design choices that they made will never appeal to everyone. Plus the issue in this thread is so petty. Get over it and let them do their job.

*** LEAVE BRITNEY APPLE ALONE!!! *** haha

Sorry to the OP but this thread is going no further and I'm not going to clean it up.

If people report posts instead of responding to them, then things could be dealt with at an earlier stage and threads would have a chance of surviving and even becoming constructive.
