Why a name that starts with a lower case letter should be any different than any other word that starts with a lower case letter when beginning a sentence is beyond me. Perhaps one of the proponents of such a scheme could explain to me why it should be different. good point. yup. though I rarely start a sentence with a capital, so who knows... paris makes this sentence start with a capital.

Paris wasn't a capital; he was a Trojan.

There are many companies whose logo and "text" trademark don't match. I have a friend who works for EMC - their logo is EMC(superscript)2 - but it is always called just E M C never E M C 2 or E M C squared.

Okay, call me stupid if you must, but I just don't get this. Was there a question about Paris's gender? I read the Wiki article (very interesting; thanks Fal), but still come up flummoxed. Please elucidate! :0) P.S. In checking for how Paris (the city) was named, it appears there is no connection to Paris (the Greek), but to a tribe of Gauls called Parisii. Couldn't find where that name came from, so if anyone knows, or can find it, I'd be interested!

Yes, I think it's probably rife in the industry. We're also likely missing a piece that only the insiders have, such as the interaction between the company owners and the graphic designers, who may often win out, hence art triumphing over punctuation and other such silly conventions... :0)
