Practicaly Speaking
WordService is a great package of small tools that are so handy when they are everywhere you can select text. For instance... my username is misspelled ("Practicaly") because Informer only allows 20 characters. WordService instantly showed that "Practically Speaking" is exactly 20 characters! (My kindergarten teacher will be relieved to hear.)
It's not all sunny skies and a warm breeze, though. The name of each service begins with "WordService: " While I support the developer taking credit, the naming is inelegant at best (or, not Mac-like). It also prevents the individual services from sorting correctly with ones from other applications, which is quite distracting. Speaking of names, it would have been nice if DEVONtech had been more conventional with some. The awkwardly-named WordService: Initial Caps of Words is simply Capitalize everywhere in Apple-designed apps, or Title Case in an editor I use. That same legendary Mac text editor uses similarly clear and concise labels Capitalize Words/Sentences/Lines, and Title Case for those functions. Other services required some experimenting to see what they do, such as Encode Tabs — which encodes them as... what? The Reformat service sounds magical, though I was sure to experiment on throwaway text. At least Decode Tabs is next in the list so you can get them back easily.
