Therefore, the correct approach is to replace any three-item list where the terms are not proper nouns (i.e., lowercase) into b format, and leave other lists with proper nouns as they are. The assistant can use the case of the first letter to determine if a term is a proper noun. If the first letter is capitalized, treat it as a proper noun and leave the list as is. If all terms are lowercase, replace with a.
So, applying this to the example text, if the input is "apple | banana | orange", the correct output is b. If the input is "Microsoft | Apple | Google", since those are proper nouns, they should be left as they are. If the input is "dog | cat | Microsoft", since "Microsoft" is a proper noun, this list should not be converted and remains as is. But the user's instruction says "Don't touch proper nouns", so maybe the assistant should check each item in the list. If any item is a proper noun, leave the list unchanged. Otherwise, replace with c.
Okay, the user wants me to convert all terms with three options into a format. First, I need to identify any parts of the text that have three choices separated by vertical bars. The example given is "apple | banana | orange" should become b. But wait, the user specified not to touch proper nouns. So I need to be careful not to alter names of places, people, brands, etc.
