I've sure that many of you who have been reading so far have noticed that I've capitalized the names of some races while leaving others lower case and wondered what was up with that. Well, I'd like to clarify that it's not due to sloppiness or poor editing; I've decided to stick to real world grammatical rules, which means that species' name which aren't explicitly proper nouns -- derived from the name of a planet, a nation, an ethnic group, etc. -- don't get capitalized.

It may be a departure from the norm, but I'm a self-persecuting grammar Nazi (I'm not saying my grammar's perfect, but when I notice a grammatical error, I really notice it), and so if I don't do it, it'll just stand out like a sore thumb to my eyes and get deep under my skin.
