uncase

Uncase refers to the process of converting text from an uppercase format to a lowercase format. This is a common operation in computing and natural language processing. Many programming languages and text editors provide built-in functions or commands to perform this conversion. For instance, in Python, the `lower()` string method can be used to uncase a string. Similarly, in many command-line interfaces, specific flags or options can be used with text manipulation tools to achieve the same result. The primary purpose of uncasing is often to standardize text for comparison, search, or analysis, as it treats words with different capitalization as equivalent. This can be crucial for tasks like case-insensitive searching or matching. The opposite operation is referred to as cased, or converting to uppercase.
