You've replied to the same mail twice and in both cases cut the bit I was replying to where you said this was a property of capital letters, hence my example. I'm aware of phonics; I was at one point taught to read. What I was trying to demonstrate was that sound of a capital letter *is* exactly the same as a lower case letter. Hence apple and APPLE sound the same. Teaching children otherwise would be a fun experiment. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
