Actually I do have one minor complaint. The word "world" should be capitalized in the title.

According to The Chicago Manual of Style, concerning capitalization in titles, one should:
  1. Always capitalize the first and the last word.
  2. Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinate conjunctions.
  3. Lowercase all articles, coordinate conjunctions, and prepositions regardless of length, when they are other than the first or last word.
  4. Lowercase the "to" in an infinitive.


In this case the prepositional phrase "in world" is used as a compound descriptive adjective and is thus hyphenated as "in-world". According to the rules above, either as a phrase or as a compound adjective, the word "world" should be capitalized, so there is an error.

There is, however, a question of whether or not "in" should be capitalized. While it is a preposition (and shouldn't be capitalized if used alone) it is part of a compound adjective (which should be capitalized). My inclination is to capitalize all the words.

I have no objection to this proposal. Perhaps you should make a poll on it and take the result to the Lindens?

Or maybe someone could just start a thread criticizing Jeska or Pathfinder? That seems equally fashionable these days.



yes. I really am that bored.

I spell "Inworld" as one word without the dash. InterCaps aren't needed for me a la QuickTime however. I learned this from someone else.

So be it, Jedi. ;)

Actually, I have a more serious complaint. What we do in this forum is not "political science".

I think we need to define "political science" carefully, because as we all can attest to, it is the bane of any political system that.... Urrk! Ack! Gasp! Gargle! *throttling noises....*loud thump....

silence....
