I am using my standard english dictionary. Not yet published. When I write english, I do not refer the language of the people of England, but merely one of several languages commonly used by Canadians.

For example, my truck has a hood but no trunk, and one can find it in my driveway -- not under anything. Its drivetrain is part of the undercarriage. One will find my boot by the front door of my house, and a bonnet is something Mennonite girls wear.

I could also cite WordNet published by Princeton University in 2006, but I don't find their use sufficiently consistent.

Whether Morgan speaks English or english depends on whether he speaks the language of the people of England or some other place like America. Regardless, he lacks the ability to comprehend either in their written form.

I treat latin, greek, german etc. equally with respect to capitalization; although, I do capitalize Deutch and Schwaebisch because they are capitalized in their respective languages.

I think we can all agree though that nits are for gits. Received on Mon Jul 02 2007 - 17:21:08 CDT
