While I was putting Robert Hartwell Fiske's The Dictionary of
Disagreeable English: A Curmudgeon's Compendium of Excruciatingly
Correct Grammar (2005 -- yes, 205, this book is really on the cutting
edge of the time line) onto the shelf, it fell open to a page with an
entry for TREPIDACIOUS, which caught my eye because i am an occasional
(and proud) user of the word TREPIDATIOUS 'tremblingly reluctant' and
took TREPIDACIOUS to be a misspelling of this word, which should have a
T because TREPIDATION does.

Traditional capitalization!


On the point: well said, Arnold!
