Comment (by kebbet):
Replying to [comment:9 joedolson]:
> Regarding the copy change - while WordPress is definitely not very
consistent about capitalization in buttons, this should definitely
*either* be initial caps are title caps: `Change permalink structure` or
`Change Permalink Structure`. I'd root for the latter.
>
> I do think that the text change is clearer. I suspect that the
target=_blank is in some ways associated with the text used - 'Change
Permalink' gives the impression that it's a button that will execute a
change to the permalink for this post/media item. 'Change Permalink
Structure' makes it clearer that you're making a larger, global change.
>
> Thinking historically, I'd guess that this was a problem prior to
WordPress 4.2, when WordPress switched to using search engine friendly
permalinks by default.
As a non native US-english speaker/reader, the capitalization thing is a
mystery to me. That said, I've updated the patch to all caps now. :)
