The idea is to make messages to look less "noisy" in a log. Although, I
don't have strong preference in regards to the style and keeping the
capitalization of abbreviations would be okay too. All I really care
about is to make all messages to use one common style.

I'll consider returning the capitalization in the next revision, thank
you for the input!
