New Outlook - Auto Capitalization

The plot thickens..

When composing a new email, look on the ribbon for the "Editor" button, click it then click "customize you editor" within it there are checkboxes for many grammar options, and amongst them is "Capitalization"..

It is unchecked by default, annoyingly checking it seems to not do anything?? In fact, I'm not sure any of the grammar options do anything?? The editor shows 0 grammar suggestions even though I have text filled with grammatical errors on purpose..

What the heck is going on here? It should be automatically fixing these errors or at the very least blue underlining them. Instead, it doesn't even seem to be seeing the errors, I'm not sure its functioning at all. You expect us to buy into CoPilot and all this new AI stuff, but seem to be completely failing at an automation task that previous software has been doing for decades.

How about we stop dreaming up "features" that very few people will use and make the base product fully functional before adding anything else?

I find it hilarious that even that first response, whilst in depth, the fifth 'word' was a lower case 'I'

"Based on my test, i found that the same result as yours."

Gotta love the Irony there!!

This is a ridiculous answer. The new Outlook does not follow basic grammar rules so it needs to be fixed. Sentences always start with a capital letter, I alone always capitalised. I note when I type this message the I corrects and the new sentences start with a capital letter. Not sure who which 'Partners' consulted to make the new Outlook format differently to the old but they are clearly clueless when it comes to basis grammar.

AMEN!!! I work in higher education and when we were offered the option to merge slowly to the new Outlook, before the permanent transition, I was excited. When I realized that this was an issue, I almost felt stupid reaching out to our internal IT guy asking for help because I should be able to find this as a feature, being that it is the proper usage of grammar. My IT guy is great and was dumbfounded once he realized that it was a real issue and not me overlooking something. This is the most ridiculous thing ever and the fact that it is still not fixed is beyond me. You said it best with your comment!

Well... since self-capitalization of the "I" pronoun, as well as autocapitalizing the first letter after a ".", was a feature present in the old Outlook, and it's a default feature of other MS product whose focus is the act of writing, such as MS Word, removing it is not "improving features" or "aligning to customer feedback".

That would have been true if the pronoun "I" setting was only applicable when typing in English, as other languages might not require it (as a matter of facts, it was quite boring writing in Italian, when that feature was there).

But removing them and passing it as an improvement after years in which the product had worked in a certain way is an excuse at best. And a bad one!

Plus: capitalizing the first work after a "." is true for any language using latin characters...

Please bring it back as soon as you can.
