Hi smiley - smiley ! I'm British and I prefer freshly brewed Lapsang Souchong (Chinese tea), although mostly I drink peppermint 'tea' which doesn't contain any tea smiley - tea at all.

As this all started about the use of words, I think most English people would be unwilling to abandon the capitalisation (sic) of special words like proper names. So your 'lower case throughout' is a bit of a give-away. (Do Americans write 'thruout' ? smiley - erm )
