Ter, Lower Case ‘t’

When Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 and Gerald Ford became President, his first press secretary was a man named Jerald terHorst.  TerHorst served for exactly one month before himself resigning after Ford’s apparently unexpected pardon of Nixon.  TerHorst found the pardon unconscionable considering Ford’s non-pardon of Vietnam draft-dodgers.

The man’s surname name, terHorst, begins with a lower case ‘t’ unless used at the beginning of a sentence.  There’s a surprisingly embittered and childish fight about the proper capitalization and its noteworthiness on Wikipedia.
