They're too long. The maximum is 22 characters and yours are 25.

I can't remember why that limit was chosen but I expect it was to avoid things stretching and overlapping in the UI, especially on small screens.

Changing "Capitalised" to "Uppercase" gets you to 23 characters, still above the allotted 22 that Rimu said.

Changing it to "Upper", "Caps," or changing it to "Uppercase" without the parenthesis should all work.

Awesome!

Capitalised pronouns are pronouns that start with a capital letter, like most people's "I" pronoun.
