	Capitalization - Exit By Name? by James Le Cuirot-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I need to add an artist that was known as Exit By Name, ExitByName, Exitbyname or EBN for short. Clicking "Guess Case" gives me "Exit by Name", which doesn't look right to me but maybe I'm just used to seeing it titlecased. I guess there's not a strong enough case for artist intent here. I'm wondering if one of those odd exceptions applies but I'm not into hardcore grammar so could someone please tell me? The wiki says "except when used as adverbs or as an inseparable part of a verb."
