Hello,

Kenneth Whistler schrieb:
> Huh? Casing changes the interpretation of text,

An amusing example of the effect casing can exert on interpretation
is the following minimal pair of German clauses:
- Er hat in Moskau liebe Genossen. (=At Moskow, he has dear Comrades)
- Er hat in Moskau Liebe genossen. (=At Moskow, he has enjoyed love)

Enjoy,
Otto Stolz
