Sigh. You've replied to the same mail twice and in both cases cut the
bit I was replying to where you said this was a property of capital
letters, hence my example. I'm aware of phonics; I was at one point
taught to read. What I was trying to demonstrate was that sound of a
capital letter *is* exactly the same as a lower case letter. Hence
apple and APPLE sound the same. Teaching children otherwise would be a
fun experiment.
