    Please don't do that again Arthur, you have a history of altering my posts without asking, though this is the first time you ever acknowledged it is you. The countries read the same with capitals or without, I really am not bothered if you find my lack of capitals irksome



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    You'll have to accept that Arth is most likely a perfectionist when it comes to the English language old chap. At least he's not moaning at you for it.

    Thanks, Jamie. Yes, you're right, I AM, indeed, a perfectionist ... especially when it comes to good, clear, grammatically-correct written, typed or printed forms of *its presentation.

    And that includes IMPORTANT issues like punctuation - followed by appropriate spacing between sentences - together with the use of Capital Initial Letters for Proper Nouns ... such as names of people/countries. Because that ^ was the way my generation, plus several *generations of 's kids before *mine, were traditionally, taught back in Elementary school.

    However, being a perfectionist doesn't make me infallible ... for, as most here know (moreover, accept!) I'm pretty much a luddite with computer jargon!

    This is where the problem lies, and one of the reasons I don't contribute on such a regular basis.
    Arthur, I find your posts difficult to read and this one in particular very ironic using hyphens where there shouldn't be any and total inappropriate use of capital letters.
    The difference being that I'm not in a position to change your post to make it easier to read and more pleasing on the eye, and even if I was I wouldn't.
