At work (I'm a copy editor), I'd probably capitalize <i>Styrofoam</i> and <i>Velcro</i> and change <i>kleenex</i> to <i>tissue</i> and <i>xerox</i> to <i>photocopy</i>. In my personal writing, I don't capitalize any genericized term, not even acronyms like <i>pms</i>, <i>aids</i>, and <i>pdf</i> (but I insist on <i>tissue</i> and <i>photocopy</i>). Did you know that <i>radar</i> and <i>laser</i> are acronyms? But nobody capitalizes them anymore, and most people don't even know they aren't "real" words. <br /><br />So here it is: my philosophical treatise on capitalizing genericized terms.amy franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161110291933869342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108221103188891546.post-16647209664931648352010-03-11T17:53:38.271-07:002010-03-11T17:53:38.271-07:00Thanks for your comments, everyone!

And now, for a philosophical question of you: would YOU capitalize Styrofoam and Kleenex, knowing that they are name brands with patents but also common household names that you deep inside feel that no one should own? (Even though we know they do own them...) :)<br /><br />Also, about EC, aaagh! I am so NOT a good example of the best EC practices, but it has been a fascinating journey. Unfortunately, only the highlights come out, because I blog about it infrequently. So you don't hear about all the times I've nearly thrown in the towel. I'd like to post a more comprehensive blog about my EC experience so far...sometime.<br /><br />Emili Louann - thanks for chiming in! I have seen you out and about at other blogs we both read. Didn't realize you were Tamie's cousin.

THREE exlamation points go there)<br /><br />I laughed and laughed and told the story over and over to Cam of her puting the styrafoam to her ear and saying her little "ah-lah". She is just the bomb diggity. We're slowly preparing ourselves to understand that Poppy probably won't have half of her personality (how could he?) but that he will be cute or unique in some other way... hmmm...Rachel @ Lautaret Bohemiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386970771824268791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108221103188891546.post-66165001906874877692010-03-10T08:07:18.202-07:002010-03-10T08:07:18.202-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650436474376248598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108221103188891546.post-74914134995824651762010-03-10T08:07:17.944-07:002010-03-10T08:07:17.944-07:00I love the Montessori ideas.

Our home is pretty toy simplified compared to alot of homes we have been in....even Soleil will say "WOW, mom that was a messy room" now her room gets messy as well, but since we have about 1/4 the toys "most kids" have it is alot less... I think we need to simplify even more after seeing your post. I have so far to go... Thanks for the tip! =)Karissa Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13105835949698519872noreply@blogger.com
