 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
 Perl supports language-specific notions of data such as "is this a
-letter", "what is the upper-case equivalent of this letter", and "which
+letter", "what is the uppercase equivalent of this letter", and "which
 of these letters comes first".  These are important issues, especially
 for languages other than English - but also for English: it would be
 very naE<iuml>ve to think that C<A-Za-z> defines all the "letters". Perl
