"Nice" pronounced "neece" is a place name, so "I went to Nice" means the same thing as "I WENT TO NICE". You could even write it as "i went to nice" and people would understand what you meant.There is no such thing as "Pissed with a capital 'P' means drunk" and "pissed with a lowercase 'p' means unhappy"."It's Nice" vs. "It's nice".Excuse me, but I have not mentioned anywhere that Austrian corporal or his political persuasions, so this law has not been fulfilled. Unless you are telling me that all German people are cast from the same mould.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.Godwin's law fulfilled, again. Sad.
