I stand by my Unix comment on the indifference to capitalization as
a hinderance to understanding the English Language.
"North American" IS a continent. The idea of "north American" is any
damn place in America north of a particular reference point.
Some folks shouldn't have Unix as their first language. :)

Poor editing on my part. I originally composed that as "originated on
the north american continent," and when I changed the wording I failed
to remove the "n". It should, of course, have read "I originated in
north america, [...]."
