Classic over-engineering. Their approach is just fine 90% of the time for the use case it’s intended for.


75-80% [1], 90%, 99% [2]. In other words, no one has any idea.

I doubt it's anywhere that high because even if you don't write anything fancy and simply capitalize the first word like you'd normally do at the beginning of a sentence, the regex won't flag it.

Anyway, I don't really care, might just as well be 99.99%. This is not a hill I'm going to die on :P
