      The file library as it stands is functional but Spartan.  The library
      doesn't let you know when a file was created, and it doesn't let you
      sort the files in any way. Let's make the library a little fancier.

         "Spartan" in this context is an adjective, not a verb, and thus shouldn't be capitalised.

         Eh? What's adjectival use got to do with it? (And how does "Spartan" work as a verb?) I'll leave it to the
         editors to decide whether to capitalize Spartan in this case, though. It varies depending on whose style
         guide you're fond of.
