"Synagouge" - Old Fashioned/Commonwealth English #293

Closed DJHugger closed 12 years ago

DJHugger commented 12 years ago

I noticed the OEB currently capitalizes "Synagogue". This isn't standard US English. Is it old-fashioned or just a Commonwealth English thing? Recommend rendering synagogue in lower case unless standard usage requires capitalization.

I think its a leftover from the 20CNT which capitalised a whole lot of stuff. I agree it should be lowercase.
