Capitalizing Think isn't correct. Tongue
I just capitalize certain words which I respect. I'll stop capitalizing so many words from now on, but I will still capitalize Science, Future and Technology if it's okay. Smiley

Because our great ability to think is the foundation of our knowledge and Science, and basically everything that makes us different from the rest of the animals.

Why not say something right now that has several "think"'s and bold them instead, so I can see what I THINK about it...Get it?

Aha, okay. Loooool. Tongue
And Grammar nazism.
The Second Grammatical War sounded exciting though, and the cold cold grammar war which was -14 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bla, are you a philosopher? You sound like it.

I wouldn't call myself a philosopher, but... I like philosophy a little bit, but only if it's thought out Scientifically. I'm more like a Science fan.
The idea of bolding certain words was also good, but I think I'll just be a Grammar Communist until I encounter Science, Technology or Future. Smiley Tongue

You're right that it's not supposed to be capitalized.

Something I've been thinking about is whether "solar system" should be capitalized when described as "our solar system" in the way siblings might say "our mom". In that case "mom" is not capitalized.

Solar System should be capitalized as it is the name of our system.

I don't say Our dan dixon. :]

Our mom is lower case because mom isn't a name but a title.

"Mother" depends.

If you use it as a title which includes the name then it should be capitalized.

Example: "Mother Tina"

At least I would think.

You can't do crime, there will always be things we cannot do. Tongue
But Yes, that Doesn't Restrict us from Being Grammar Capitalists (I Guess that Are People who Capitalize Many Words that Should Not be Capitalized. Tongue).

yes, perhaps it was taking it a little bit too far... now there are no capitalized letters for the grammar poor.
