PEOPLE FROM ENGLAND ARE ENGLISH (CAP. E), LIKE PEOPLE FROM THE U.S. ARE AMERICANS (CAP A).
English is an English word therefore we English speaking people who speak English enjoy rubbing in that English fact
Yes, all languages and nationalities and countries are spelt with a capital letter. The fact that it is used as an adjective is irrelevant.
yes why? don`t you capitalise the a in american
If it's the name of something, its capitalized. How can you use English as an adjective? If its English teas, its saying where its from, not what the tea tastes like.
i think that as an adjective it should be in lower case but if it isnt it's capitalised. But don't quote me on that.
A wee bit too Oxford English Dictionary for the folk on Yahoo..is this Question..
English is no more an "adjective" than is French, Spanish, German, or what ever. It has become the universal language though, for a L-O-N-G time that was Latin, then for a shorter time it was French. Like it or not, now it IS English.
