Quite right, fall not into teutonic temptation to capitalise such things as adjectives and names of languages and peoples, the big letters are reserved for important stuff like starting paragraphs and proper names like George or Arabian Sea, never arabian horse when in mid-paragraph ... notice, even 'horse', for while they are large they are not arrogant cousins ... ancient castellanos were so farsighted as to the need to reduce work for the little finger on the shift button that centuries ago they wisely discerned the optimum usage of upper and lowercase, while other poor peoples all over the world go about emulating the hochdeutschers with this indiscriminate capitalising of adjectives and all nouns and whathaveyou ... it's unnecessary, it's immodest of them, it's ... it's ..... well, it's racist! Point for r-word ... um, half-point, nice and loud, but contrived set-up It is that very tendency to inappropriate capitalisation that is wrong with the world, all over ... Adolf and Dubya and Hu's On First capitalising on fear of foreign devils, folks borrowing megabucks in an attempt to capitalise on a real estate bubble, shortly after failing to capitalise on a dot.com bubble, your daughter Anita no doubt intending to capitalise on defenseless vegetable matter .... sad, all capitalising chiefs, and no lowercase injuns ... perhaps it is all about race, if so it is a very long and winding race with an indefinite finish line, and taking its own sweet time to make us all Won [1.0 - a/k/a Unity, a thing so great it's worthy of capitalisation].
