Would you write:
"sweden" is a string consisting of small case text but "Sweden" has one
upper case in it.
as
"Sweden" is a string consisting of small case text but "Sweden"
has one upper case in it.
?
Even at the cost of turning something perfectly true into
something that is perfectly false? Just for a scool grammatical rule? Of course not.
Ah, you say, but all bets are off in this example because of the
quotes. OK, would you write:
the first letter of the first word of this sentence is small case
as
The first letter of the first word of this sentence is small case
and turn it into something false? Just for the sake of some
school rule about the start of sentences?
Ah, but you say, all bets are off in this case too because it is
an unusual sentence - about itself.
Well, Luigi, you would argue the tail off a donkey for sure and I
will content myself with pointing out that addressing someone is
an unusual sort of sentence and that any sentence with "dorayme"
in it is a particularly important and unique sort of thing...
