Soundoff for April 10
Capitalize 'pope' Obviously whoever does your Sunday newspaper doesn't understand that pope needs to be capitalized, and I am certain that I am not the only person who will call on that one. That is just a criminal mistake. Also, I hope we have seen the last of Ms. Dye's letters to the editor, because she obviously doesn't get it. If our high school can have a gay and lesbian club, then I do not know why they shouldn't have a Bible study. EDITOR'S NOTE: The Associated Press Stylebook advises newspapers to capitalize "pope" when used as a formal title before a name and to lowercase in all other uses. The Pilot & Today applied this rule correctly in the Sunday, April 3 edition.
