Bug Description
Binary package hint: synaptic
In synaptic 0.75~pre4 on Natty i386, in the Network tab of the Preferences, the option "Direct connection to the internet" appears under Proxy Server. The word "Internet" should be capitalized when it refers to the largest and most widely used global internetwork (which is what it refers to here, and almost everywhere else; appropriate uses of the term "internet" without initial capitalization exist but are rare).
So, that option should instead read, "Direct connection to the Internet".
Besides being correct (and because of that), this usage is also common throughout applications in Ubuntu, so adopting it in Synaptic will also increase interface uniformity.
This bug might be reflected in other languages too, so fixing it might require slight retranslation.
I am also able to produce this bug with synaptic 0.63.1ubuntu4 on a Maverick amd64 system.

Thanks for spotting it. This should probably be an easy fix.
