Question
handling last name foramt
Hello, the letter that needs to be generated has a "TO"
section and a person's last name should be started with "uppercase"
and rest of them is printed "lowercase", but some cases are treated
differently. (Users need to input the last name before they
generate the letter).
But they input too many different formats of last name and it is a nightmare to catch those formt to print out the first letter to be uppercase and some cases the second letter should also be capital..
For example, last name O'Nell. In this case, it should be print out "O" and "N" all capital. Some has Hong-Sang.
Look at these last name that users entered.

maybe I need to prevent them to inputting a wrong last name format, but what are the right last name format then?
