Perhaps my argument would be more persuasive if I randomly capitalise words and write "end of" to shut down further debate?
Ha! It probably wouldn't!
I only wrote 'end of' because, like it or not, those are (currently) the 'rules', as your wiki info backs up. I'm not interested in shutting down debate at all - and as I stated earlier, I'm very much in favour of languages evolving through common usage. If we are discussing what is the 'right' thing to do re capitalisation, then at the moment, using lower case letters for bird names is 'correct'. There are some good arguments and clearly some good support for that to change, which wouldn't bother me in the slightest.
Perhaps debate might be further encouraged by not ending your posts with snide comments?
