Yikes, no!! What benefit would that be? German capitalization of nouns is one of the brilliant conventions about that language of long compounds, and one of the few things that allows me to navigate it in written form! Stand up for nominal capitalization--imperfect readers of German unite! :) Sally ========================================================== scaves@frontiernet.net http://www.frontiernet.net/~awen/bastrelay2.html Niffodyr tweluenrem lis teuim an.
