    Spmetla:

    the Romans didn't capitalise any words apart from names in Latin. they'd write like this so that names would stand out, but it's quite annoying because you have to search for the full stops. the capitals were for things like names, coins and statues or things like that. if you don't believe me, look for a Latin book, you'll find that there aren't many capitals at all.

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
