dmp_panda: well, the first place I saw capitalised surnames was my french penpal years ago, but that was only when she wrote her address on the envelope...
nikki_: we do that for "lisibility" reasons, as most time using CAPS avoid idiosyncrasy and mistakes (official papers and such)

readibility ?

I figured it was that much
2006-07-07 18835, 2006
dmp_panda
but it's nowhere a convention to use it for surnames
2006-07-07 18856, 2006
nikki_
by their logic, we should also capitalise transliterated names from japanese...
2006-07-07 18828, 2006
Shepard
let's do that :)

'cause they often capitalise the surname so people understand which name is which (since some people use surname forename and others use forename surname)
2006-07-07 18812, 2006
nikki_
but that's silly since our sortnames easily point out the surname
2006-07-07 18839, 2006
dmp_panda
definitely

nikki_ (or in that matter, anybody english competent) - what do you think is the proper way to spell/cap "T'ain't Nobody's Business if I Do"

dmp_panda goes give some love to Coluche-Shepard :)
2006-07-07 18802, 2006
nikki_ would use a lowercase 't' because it's short for "It"
2006-07-07 18823, 2006

btw, what's the state of the art with this french-cap flame war / editing wiki without discussion stuff?
2006-07-07 18817, 2006
Shepard
no idea, I don't read it since I can't help there anyways :)
2006-07-07 18814, 2006
dmp_panda
well, the question is to turn "should" into "must"... I don't really care... still it might require quite extra work...

Shepard: btw Coluche was an humorist. So I guess spokenword is the most appropriate?
