Bantu? inca?
« on: September 13, 2021, 06:01:35 PM »
I tried bantu and was a bit surprised that it was accepted. Dictionaries I checked generally had it upper case which I thought it would be.

Another upper / lower case word that bothers me is inca. The inca was the ruler of the Andean kingdom and the people who speak Quechua or Aymara. I don't believe it should be upper case.

There's also a hummingbird called an inca.
