Reply #: I often say "Democrat {some noun}". I hate it when entities grab words [View All]

For example, I never refer to the first page or home page of a web site as the front page because microVirusSoft has a program by that name.

"Democratic" is an adjective that belongs to all people, not one party. Same thing goes for "republican". People have gotten so sloppy with writing and so proud of being sloppy, that they won't notice if those two words adjectives are capitalized or not.

"Democrat" only becomes an insult if you capitalize the "r".

But in fact, attempted insults are only insults if you accept them. Don't be overly sensitive. "Democrat" is not an insult.
