Ok...its a minor nitpick but...

the man page for dc goes against standard conventions by capitilizing the "d"
in dc when it begins a sentance.

There are numerous instances, throughout the man page, where this
occurs. Checking the bc man page - this error is not made, even when
bc begins a sentance.
