	== Capitalization of Moon ==		== Capitalization of Moon ==
	It is not clear to me that moon ought to be capitalized, except in titles of articles and sections. In Shakespeare moon was not capitalized. Part of Hecate's speech in MacBeth Act III Scene V is: "Great business must be wrought ere noon Upon the corner of the moon..." I think people just started capitalizing moon as a way to express their dislike with using Luna a proper noun for Earth's moon. Moon should no more be capitalized than sky. We have Earth's sky and Mars' sky and no proper name for either one. That is how it should be for moons. As Mars' moons are named Phobos and Deimos, Earth's moon should be named Luna.--[[User:Farred\|Farred]] 21:18, 21 February 2010 (UTC)		It is not clear to me that moon ought to be capitalized, except in titles of articles and sections.
