I 100% agree with this and also your second mail.

There should be also a rule how to continue after a colon ":". IMHO in
most cases with a capital letter.
E.g.:
Wrong: Warning: this is more gas than available in the specified cylinder!
Correct: Warning: This is more gas than available in the specified cylinder!

What makes the story a little bit difficult is that a single string in
the source code notnecessarily ends up as one string in the UI. So one
needs to be a careful and always check the final result in the UI.

Best regards
Stefan
