- It's the nature of the language that the word derives from. The "ll" are both considered one letter, and thus are both capitalized in title case. It's kind of like the Dutch word for ice during capitalization: "ijs" => "IJs" It's only weird because it's relatively unknown to Americans because English doesn't use it at all. --Eira yay! 01:14, 3 January 2008 (EST)
- Great excuse, and cool if it's true. Can you show me with a one click "go to" resource, out of curiosity? human

- Wikipedia's article on LL states that "This digraph is considered a single letter in Spanish orthography, called elle. From 1803 was collated after L as a separate entry, but this is no longer done: in April of 1994, a votation in the X Congress [1] of the Association of Spanish Language Academies ruled the adoption of the standard Latin alphabet collation rules, so that for purposes of collation the digraph ll is now considered a sequence of two characters. The same is now true of the Spanish-language digraph, ch. Hypercorrection leads some to wrongly capitalize it as a single letter ("LLosa" instead of the official "Llosa") as with the Dutch IJ." As an action of hyper-correction upon the already permanently wandalised plural form "llamae", rather than the actual "llamas", by application of the Latin pluralization rules to a non-Latin word, yields perfect sense. --Eira yay! 13:46, 3 January 2008 (EST) Update: I mean, it's hyper-corrected right? That means it's more correct than even correct is. Like Hyperdrive, or Hyperspace, or
HypercalcimiaHypercalcemia. :) --Eira yay! 13:50, 3 January 2008 (EST)- Haha, cool. But no, hyper does not mean "more" so much as "over" - as in hyperactive... human 17:07, 3 January 2008 (EST)

- LIBERAL LIES! *laugh* I'm well aware that hyper doesn't mean "more". Hypercalcemia is infact a medical condition where someone has an elevated amount of calcium in their blood. Obviously, take that far enough, and it's a serious and dangerous medical condition. So comparing that with "hypercorrect", would mean that it has been corrected in excess of reference ranges. But, it's far more funnier to manipulate evidence in order to justify a point that was intended in jest in the first place. :) --Eira yay! 15:04, 7 January 2008 (EST)
