Re: Model verbose name appears to split up on capitalisation (e.g. "iOS") - any way to suppress this?

Personally, I think it is a Django bug. There are two cases. One is that
Django figures out what to display from the model class name (or field
name) all by itself. The other is that I decide what to display via
verbose_name and additionally for model classes, verbose_name_plural.

I think it should not be getting title case.

I did some digging in Django source and found it won't be easy for
someone like me to fix it. Hence the workaround.
