I think it is Nazi with a capital in Dutch too. But then if I recall correctly, the rules in Dutch when to capitalise are... special. Last time the spelling changed I think there were, oh, about three pages with rules and exceptions for capitalisation alone. I decided not to bother with it anymore. And that's only spelling. I haven't even touched the grammar rules since leaving school. So don't feel bad about confusing Dutch grammar terms. I'm quite sure I'm not up to speed on them either. But really, any language that has such long and complicated terms like 'bijvoegelijk naamwoord' is bound to be confusing. What the hell even is a 'naamwoord'? I'm still not certain.

Dutch must be the only language that was effective ruined by committee. Fne.
