The rules change when several words are grouped together in a sentence. For example, the sentence "He is pissed" can have two possible meanings: pissed - meaning "drunk" pissed - meaning "pissed off" or "unhappy" There is no such thing as "Pissed with a capital 'P' means drunk" and "pissed with a lowercase 'p' means unhappy". The idea that the entire universe should have to change its rules regarding switching between upper and lowercase just to satisfy a few anomalies concocted by the master race is laughable. -- Tony MarstonCan you show me any language where a single character has multiple alternatives when switching case?http://cdn.webfail.com/upl/img/07181c2ca27/post2.jpg _____________________________________ german: Sie ist wirklich gut zu Vögeln english: she is really nice to birds german: Sie ist wirkich gut zu vögeln english: she is really nice to fuck _____________________________________ german: Ich wünschte er wäre Dichter! english: i wish he would be a poet german: Ich ünschte er wäre dichter! english: i wish he would be more drunken _____________________________________ and now stop it!
