Re: Proper Names - Definition

Sorry, haven't got time at the moment to answer your post fully Dominic, and won't have this week, but I had to join in with your interesting question about 'iPod' starting a sentence. Yes, good one, I hadn't actually thought about that problem. 'iPod' (see, there's my answer already) is a logo and I don't think you can change logos (don't know whether I should be placing inverted commas around it all the time though). Also, just as I can accept it as representing a proper name so can I accept it as starting a sentence. At least it looks more acceptable at the beginning of a sentence than 'ipod'.

I actually meant those fonts that mix typically upper and lower case forms
to produce an alphabet of even height.




You mean 'unicase' doesn't actually mean unicase? It has the same fault in its meaning as 'unisex'?

I think 'unisex' actually means unistyle, so likewise 'unicase' actually means uniheight. Crumbs, why do some people insist on making life more confusing than it actually is?

Neil, that is a mighty tough problem you had there with 'de Bary' and right now I don't know what my solution would be. I will have a think about it.
