New Grammar Rules in "netherlands"...

No more "Christ" with a capital "C" in the [n]etherlands (Title corrected to reflect the lunacy occurring in [b]elgium and the [n]etherlands.
According to a new grammar rule in the [n]etherlands and [b]elgium, the name "Christ" will soon be written with a lower-case "c", as stipulated by an orthography reform published last [f]riday.

According to the [k]ath.net agency, the new spelling rules also will stipulate that the [d]utch word for "jews" (joden) be spelled with a capital "J" when referring to nationality and with a lower-case "j" when referring to the religion. The changes will be mandatory starting in [a]ugust 2006.
The above was corrected in anticipation of the [a]ugust 2006 requirement. I decided that in this context [i] would only capitalize the the first letter of the first word of a sentence. Of course that rule is probably superceded if the first word of a sentence happens to be "God" or "Christ"...

Some people/nations/societies are falling so fast towards complete and utter stupidity that they will become but an historical footnote in annals of recordas of mankind. They've lost their minds - they've all gone mad! The worst part is that it seems to be contagious...
