Why Capitalizing Every Word Matters in Data Cleanup
When importing customer contact lists, e-commerce product catalogs, or survey spreadsheets, text is often messy and inconsistent. Names might appear as john smith or SARAH CONNOR.
Capitalizing the first letter of each word (also known as Start Case or Capitalize Each Word) formats names and addresses into clean, presentable entries:
"john doe" → "John Doe"
"123 maple avenue" → "123 Maple Avenue"
