Talk:dei gratia

RFV discussion: August 2014
Why do we spell this with minuscule "d"? All other dictionaries in Onelook have chosen to capitalize it and so have about 90 % of books that I could find in BGC. Shouldn't the various names of God (Lord, Almighty, Our Father, God Almighty..) always be capitalized in English? --Hekaheka (talk) 13:45, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
 * What matters is actual usage, so the 9-to-1 preference you found at BGC counts for much more than what other dictionaries say and what we feel "should be capitalized in English". In other words, yes, this should be moved to Dei gratia. (Note that Deo volente is already capitalized.) —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 13:50, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, if it is used with a capital letter, then that's how it should be. In any case, "dei" should be capitalized because it is referring to God, with a capital "g." Princeps linguae (talk) 14:31, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Whether or not dei is referring to God, we should capitalize it as per the sources.--Prosfilaes (talk) 22:39, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I've moved it. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 22:54, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
