If the majority of experts on fauna call an animal the
"Aardvark", and the
majority of non-experts call it the "aardvark", then the majority of our
potential *readership* call it the "aardvark". So that's what our usual
naming convention says that *we* should call it, too. We shouldn't make
special cases just for one particular group of people without a better
reason than just because that's how they do it themselves.
The thing is, we are an ENCYCLOPÆDIA. (BTW, I am not shouting. I just
can't do italics here!!!)
