That is the title acquired along the way by this history of the "never end a sentence with a preposition" debate.

Also, I now like Ben Jonson a lot better, and I am enchanted by the image of Dryden and Jonson getting into a grammar smackdown.

Should braille be capitalized?

LJ user selkiechick and I were talking about this, and we both admitted we mostly spelled it with a capital because our spellchecker programs kept nagging us.

According to NBP, however,
the embossed alphabet is a lowercase b and only Louis Braille gets the uppercase b

Now I can go tell my spellchecker to lay off.
