@grammargirl Trust your instinct. The lexicographers don't own the language.

@grammargirl I would definitely capitalize Valley because it refers to the San Fernando Valley.

@grammargirl I double checked with the American Heritage Dictionary. I would never have guessed that etymology. I love learning new stuff that I'll never forget. Thank you.

@grammargirl When I studied Greek in college, we called it the "alpha privative". (atonal, amoral, etc.) I think it's phonetically related to the N in Latin negative words.

@grammargirl And AI should not be printed in a sans-serif font. Without serifs it looks just like the name Al, as in Al Gore.
