[asterisk-biz] Capitalisation in English writing from Indiansubcontinent

[Michelle Dupuis]

In Canada proper grammar requires adding "Eh" to the end of all questions,
and replacing "ou" with "oo" (e.g.: "how aboot that hockey game last
night").  It's still English, and it's not wrong either.

I'm English, but I spend a fair amount of time in the US.  A recent note
from a US government department granted me "Permission to Initiate
Training", The Onion tells me that "New Anti-Smoking Ads Warn Teens 'It's
Gay To Smoke'", and I quite often come across Sentences Or Entire Paragraphs
Written Like This, usually (I think) with the intention of adding emphasis
or an air of officialdom.  None of these, according to our rules, should be
capitalised.  Or capitalized.

Does that make them wrong?  No - it's just one of the differences between
the grammar of American English and that of mine.
