On the review page we have “Invite people to urbis
Earn credits the easy way…
Invite friends to urbis and let the credits pour in!”

—> Urbis is lowercase. Twice. Not nice. It’s my vice to be precise. And give advice.
I’ll stop now… :)

Shocking.

Although it is “lower case” and not “lowercase.” You may hyphenate the word when it is used as a verb or adjective.

Never stop. We love it.

Lower case (also lower-case or lowercase) says Wikipedia is all good. Ha! There!
And you know what’s written on a 13000$ bill: In Wiki we trust.

Well, my Webster’s agrees with Claire, although these usages are incredibly open to evolution.

I’m sure that in a few years lowercase and uppercase will be accepted by all editors. My Mozilla spell checker didn’t underline it, so it must already be pretty accepted in American English (although, again, in Webster’s it is still indicated as two words, hyphenated for the adjective).

Like always, when it comes to writing – everyone is right :P

I don’t care about this. I just want an Indian Muscovite parachutist to drop into my shack and shout: “FREE THE FUNGUS! FREE THE FUNGUS!”

It’s actually only lowerCase (my own version) once, for the record. “Invite people to Urbis” is correct.

Heh heh, now it is. When I copy/pasted it it was twice.

ah, you’re right. This has been marked off the to do list, but not completely done.
