About 12 years ago, I created a tool called IntelliCAPS, which intelligently converts ALL CAPS to mixed case. Basically, if the word is not in the dictionary, it assumes it's a proper noun and capitalizes it. It also recognizes some common acronyms and preserves them as all-caps. It's not perfect, but it's arguably more readable than the original.
Here's its output:

- version_five 4y agoThere's a lot of, to my read, stupid bureaucratic stuff in there, like about the penalties. Are all of the notams like this? I would have expected that they were effectively mandatory by virtue of being issued and didn't need all the stupid warnings
- tjohns 4y agoThere are many different reasons a TFR can be issued, with varying levels of restrictions and penalties. Some you can fly through if you follow the right procedures, others are effectively off limits. Some you'll get your license suspended for flying through, others you risk being shot down. The formatting could definitely be improved, but they do indeed need to clarify the nature of the restrictions since every TFR is unique.
