Description

### Describe the bug

If you type in
`I only sign what i understand` or `i only sign what i understand`
instead of
`I only sign what I understand`
you cannot proceed.

I find it inconvinient that the lowercase `I` is not allowed.

Is this intended to increase friction?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior through Settings > Advanced with the Eth Sign modal, using the two lowercase variants described in the issue. Trace the modal's confirmation entry point and its existing tests, then determine whether case-insensitive input is intended; done means the behavior is confirmed and covered by an appropriate test or the intended restriction is documented.
