So the ukies' previous attempt at owning Putler by calling the country "Muscovy" instead of Russia didn't catch on?
I am once again reminded of the scene in Barefoot Gen where the Japanese public is instructed to step on caricatures of Churchill and Roosevelt painted on the sidewalk and the dad thinks the whole thing is pathetic
Ukraine are not the standards authority for the English language.
Who would you say is the standards authority for the English language?
It's me. I am
None. English is not a prescriptivist language.
TBF it does annoy the shit out of me when people write Russia with lowercase. Some people do it here, on the 'Grad and Hexbear and it's annoying
I often do it because it's an annoying custom in english to capitalize some nouns and not others. america, china, russia, australia all recieve lower cases because I don't care to hit the caps key.
If my autocorrect doesn't do it for me I don't care about capitalization or apostrophe's. Also I won't correct it when its wrong. Commas are used if I feel like it.
I generally do care about apostrophes and commas because they are useful to show the delineation of my thoughts. They do serve an actual purpose. Capital letters, although useful for starting sentences or capitalizing "I" for the first person pronoun, don't represent an actual linguistic concept, just a formality in English to make some words seem more important. Other than that it's only worth anything to distinguish polish and Polish, and even then context does the job better.

What does America have to do with this caption?
