[Tutor] Dictionary Question

[isaac tetteh]

If only I understand what you mean. You can just make all the values in the dictionary lower, upper or capitalized. Then if you want take an input or whatever you want to do with it just use .lower() or .upper() or .capitalized() to convert it to what is in the dictionary. Maybe someone has a better way to do it :)
