:I would note that we do not capitalize "french fries". And "Twelfth Night" is a holiday in some circles. But I think it doesn't matter, and will gladly include "capitalization" in the list of things that are up to the programmer's discretion. --[[User:TimToady|TimToady]] ([[User talk:TimToady|talk]]) 01:03, 20 December 2013 (UTC) |

:I've been in religious circles all my life, and this is the first I've heard of this. And to my ear, it sounds like a cheesy Victorian attempt to retrofit the lyrics with numerology. As such, I'd pay it no mind, and again make the capitalization completely optional. (By the way, in many modern translations of the Bible, they have at least stopped capitalizing the pronouns referring to God, even if they still capitalize the proper nouns. The 19th century sentiment of capitalizing the metaphors because they <em>might</em> refer to diety is just Right Out these days. :) --[[User:TimToady|TimToady]] ([[User talk:TimToady|talk]]) 01:03, 20 December 2013 (UTC) |
