What is a Noun ?

It's like a verb, but sits around being lazy and not doing shit.  The verbs get pissed at the nouns and get inspired to take action.  And the adjectives are like Perez Hilton and sit around blogging and describing it.

Should Dog be capitalized? 

The little Boy had a grey Cat? 

You see how ridiculous the Germans look?

When I started to actually live in the States... it was a tough one to adjust to the all lower case writing and not to capitalize nouns...

And that does even count the differences in spelling over here

This is not about broccoli, bacon or sex.




*glare*

Here's your Broccoli and Bacon.

Sorry Doug, no Sex from me. I don't roll that way


Should pronouns be capitalized too? What would happen when you hit the salary cap?

The point was that the thread should not have been moved from Off Topic into SF2 because it had nothing to do with SF2

If you want to be viewed as semi-literate in English, yes, it's better.

What? As compared to an Amateur Noun?

Yeah... and the grammar is also a little bit more complex than English.

It took me about 5 seconds to get that.

English grammar is simple, but our "system" of spelling is fiendishly complex.  My sympathies to all those who had to learn it as adults.

yes.
I can envision seldom used pronouns being worth less than those used more frequently. Or maybe it would be the other way around. If you use a common pronoun it would cost less than bringing in a specialist in the field. Of course, there would need to be a study (costing the US taxpayer several trillion dollars) to rank the pronouns in order of use frequency, importance, etc. Then Congressional approval of their ranks in each list. Maybe we could recoup the cost of the study and reduce the national debt and deficit by charging foreign tourists and immigrants for their use.

Hey, I grew up speaking Cajun/Creole French in south Louisiana. When I speak French to someone from Europe, it sounds like a time warp with me speaking Colonial English (think G. Washington, T. Jefferson, B. Franklin) to someone in America today.

Nein.  Es ist nicht besser.  Warum glaubst du das es besser ist?  Es macht mehr Arbeit, als man den ersten Buchstaben groß machen muss.
