[QUOTE="Christian Tepfer, post: 18830, member: 108"] Re: Use of capital letters You are in good company (not business companies). There was a movement in Germany to get rid of capitals (not the cities where politicians are) in the 30ies. Before that, some poets didn't use capitals because of the force (not The Force) they had to use on their typewriters to hold down the shift key that would slowed them down. I just remember that written (and spoken) word is sometimes inaccurate. Even more so when someone (like me) is not writing in native language. Writing this I see that there are a lot less capitals in written Englisch (or english?). [/QUOTE]
