Question spelling staff

Should I have capitalized the e in "regarding" in the title of the last announcement? I didn't think about it at the time, but now I'm thinking I should have. . .

Thoughts?

Wow, such a smurfing great contribution that was...


Anyway rubah, clearly the most proper thing to do is edit the title and type the full word. Besides, doesn't 'Re:' mean 'Reply'?

I believe that it can go either way. Don't worry. Engineers don't need English.

it might, except an announcement isn't really a reply.

Wow, apparently it's latin.

List of Latin phrases (P-Z) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
so lowercase e was correct!

Wow, interesting. I never realized it was Latin. I always just assumed it was an abbreviation of 'reply'.

Yes, the lower-case "e" is correct.

Generally in English, however, "Re:" is considered to mean "regarding," regardless (ha ha, get it?) of the original intent.
