im thinkin about the folks on the masto issue tracker on the issue about adding a language selector to the compose ui, arguing about whether language codes are uppercase or lowercase
@codl Isn't it both? The conventions I've seen are always like "en-GB" or "es_ES" or somethin'

@batbeeps depends on who you ask. iso 639 says language codes are lowercase and doesn't care about regional variants. so that's "en". IETF language tags are the ones that introduces regions, as well as scripts and other subtags, which can be upper case but don't have to be. that's "en-GB"
afaik masto only uses iso 639 tags, but also who gives a shit whether the button says "en" or "EN"
