Remarks
Lower() is related to Upper(), which converts lowercase and mixed case strings to uppercase. Lower() is also related to IsLower() and IsUpper(), which determine whether a string begins with a lower or uppercase letter.
Lower() is generally used to format strings for display purposes.
It can, however, be used to normalize strings for case-independent comparison or indexing purposes.
This function is nation-dependent.
