JT: The best solution is not to enforce AE
capitalisation rules but simply
to
recognise that different english users worldwide use
different rules on
this
issue and to leave it to users, depending on their
linguistic culture, to
decide on capitalisation just as they decide on spelling in American
English, British English or the various subsets of the latter (Hiberno
English, Australian English, etc.)
This is completely sensible and logical - though long winded. :) The way my
mind works is this - and I arrived at the same conclusion.
Someone says: "theres a problem with standardization."
(We all agree there is a problem.)
S: "The solution will involve a task"
P: "whats the task?"
S: "To henceforth make irrelevant all other styles of writing except the
*proper
one - and to purge and scour every entry in a 130,000 article document for
consistency."
P: "Oh."
Someone asks: "Any volunteers?"
"Any volunteers?"
"Anyone?"
"Hello?"
