Says the one, who pesters people about typos in changelogs....

WTF? Jason is doing a great job in reviewing and he knows what to

Sentences start with an upper case letter. Our brain is trained on
that rule when parsing a line.

So for people who actually review patches by reading them instead of
running a spell checker, consistent formatting more important than
avoiding the random typo, which our brain just blends out in most of
the cases. Unfortunately also when the typo is in actual code :(
