    Would they say "No", or, because of all that fine teaching, say "What??"

    And here I thought you'd be ignoring this thread, since your premise has been blown away....again!!!

    Everybody shout, "EURO!!!"

    Most people will agree that your average dictionary is a good reference on how the English is used.

    Most grade-school kids know enough to capitalize the "E" in English.

    Proper Nouns, they must be capitalized.

    The opinion of "most people" is never considered authoritative.

    Sez who??

    A quick search of the words american, polish and german, show that none are capitalized when used in a sentence with the words, for example, "speak german".

    Is that the correct usage?? There is NO authority to decide.

    If someone spelled "German" with a small G then they spelled it wrong.

    Good lord, you've said your share of mind-numbing, head-scratching, eye-rolling idiocy...but this takes the cake!!

    There is no recognized authority to decide the correct worldwide usage of the english language.

    Always takes the shot. AND misses the point, and even who the post is directed to.

    Poor devil.

    Stick to history, it's what you're (supposedly) best at.

    Listen, I'm sure discussions you have, and papers you've written, make Cavemen look like scholars...but it is commonly known that Webster's and Oxford dictionaries are considered the source for the language's rules.
