 In the various admin screens with list tables (posts, pages, media,
 comments, users...) a toolbar on the top displays some `<select>` elements
 to filter the lists by different criteria.

 The default option sometimes uses title casing, sometimes not. Using
 always the same casing would be an easy fix and a minor, but nice, UI
 enhancement.

 Worth mentioning title casing is mainly an English thing. In many other
 languages just the first letter in a title or label is uppercase. This is
 a minor thing and probably can be handled by translations. However, while
 I'd generally agree to use title case for English titles and labels, I'm
 not sure it makes sense for the select options.

 Some screenshots:

 Posts screen: `All dates` and `All Categories` (see also `Bulk Actions)`

 Comments screen: `All comment types`

 Users screen: `Change role to...`

 Haven't checked the network screens, there are probably some other cases
 around.

 Given most of them don't use title casing, I'd propose to standardise on
 this.
