E,
What Gerald is pointing out is something like this:
THIS IS A SIM-
ple sentence.
He is suggesting that he does the following with this sentence:
THIS IS A SIMPLE
sentence.
That seems like a fair compromise to me. Yes, publishers do some weird
things with formatting.

Are you telling me that the original print would have a sentence where the
first few words are in solid caps and the rest of the sentence is
not? Example below.
THIS IS A SAMple sentence.
Isn't this a scanning error?
