  <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Format a string
 
    .DESCRIPTION

    .PARAMETER String
    The string parameter corresponds to the string to format. It can be a single
    word or a complete sentence.
 
    .PARAMETER Format
    The format parameter corresponds to the case to convert the string to.
    The following values are available:
    - CamelCase
    - KebabCase
    - LowerCase
    - PaslcalCase
    - SentenceCase
    - SnakeCase
    - TitleCase
    - TrainCase
    - UpperCase
 
    .PARAMETER Delimiter
    The delimiter parameter corresponds to the character used to delimit dis-
    tinct words in the string.

    not a sentence), all punctuation is stripped from the string.
