Comments Roundup

And, now, ladies and gentlemen, introducing our new semi-weekly feature: Comments Roundup [canned applause]. This is my chance to be a slightly less masculine version of Anne Robinson from Points of View and reply to all my readers' comments. So, what's first out of the mailbag this week? First of all, despite the thorn in my side who claimed "Hu" (胡) doesn't mean moustache, it does in fact mean beard/moustache*, so there. And as for the anonymous hero who left the comment:
'Hu' means mustache? Wow! i've got so much to learn.
Hey, join the club, we've all got a lot to learn, young Padawan.
*According to Wikipedia and MDBG free online Chinese-English dictionary.
For the uniquely on-topic commenter who banged out:
Is it ok to capitalize preposition? [sic]
Well, last I checked (prep)s were pretty much the same as any other part of a sentence, so just use standard sentence case. As for the mammoth essay of a comment, which consisted of:
Wikiphobia?
'fraid not, a phobia is a fear of something. For example, in my case I suffer from trackpantsandtruckercapsphobia. What I'm mostly afflicted with is Wikiphilia, the exact opposite of a phobia. Tune in next week, sameish time, same channel. Leave a comment with your name and you too can achieve your 15 minutes of fame with the movers and shakers that make up my readership. Remember: Posts mean prizes!*
*If you define "prize" as getting your name in type on this site, assuming I can remember.
