Goodglf's 'Christmas Across The County Line' was the first time I heard about 'Boxing Day' which made me blink and think ???? I didn' think that boxing is the least bit Christmassy and it isn't spanking either if you park your fist in the face of anybody

By now I know that 'Boxing Day' isn't a sport event but is the traditional day when the master/mistress of the household gave boxes with gifts to their staff.
My excuse is that I am German. Have you ever thought about writing German etc. with a capital letter at the start is a bit questionable while you always claim we are mad with the capital letter at the start of words.
'The German language' translates into 'Die deutsche Sprache'.
I am from Essen and since its a city name you English write it with a capital letter too. Essen could also mean the meal but essen means to eat. capital or lower case letter matter matters when it comes to substantive or verb
