Now, answer this: Is the guild name capitalized?

I want you to go over capitalization of words in your English book, then return here when you understand why you are an idiot.

If nilbog has chatlogs of them actually making it for that purpose, then great.... get rid of it. From what I understand it is the opposite: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...42&postcount=4

The guild's name is Holocaust, not The Holocaust. Why are you changing the guild's name to make your argument? Trollocaust.
in case you missed it the first time, particles are an artefact of the English language's isolating past. (google it, you'll learn a few things). they don't convey any meaning by themselves and only exist for syntactical purposes. "A Holocaust survivor" nearly always refers to the judeocide, despite the fact that we don't say "A The Holocaust survivor."

the fact that the name is capitalized might be a consequence of the fact that proper names should generally be capitalized. the Holocaust is a proper name.

Only when they are talking about the holocaust of jews. IF they were referring to muslims, native americans, africans or any other group of people, they would not be referring to the jewish holocaust. Thus, they would need to elaborate instead of using a generalized reference to people who aren't complete morons.

Try again.

lmao. back to google he goes for justification. you do know that if more people researched the Armenian Holocaust than the Jewish Holocaust it would appear first in google right? just because there is more interest in the Jewish Holocaust than the Armenian doesnt mean that the Jews have the word on lock down.

encounter any historian that makes a reference of a holocaust survivor yet doesn't give reference to time, race, religion, region. There is a great deal of probability that you would be completely wrong in assuming the survivor was jewish.

I wouldnt have a problem in the world asking them WHICH holocaust. WHAT holocaust infers the idea that one doesn't believe that it actually took place. douche
