*JOHN,* You had once replied my question about grammar and traditional models. Thanks for that.
You mentioned I should only worry about traditional model names, capital letters, and italics in an academic paper, right? I wanted to ask you, in that case -using formal English- what is best way to write their names? Thanks in advance! *Gerardo G.* *Neorigami:* <http://s.wisestamp.com/links?url=http%3A%2F%2Fneorigami.com%2F&sn=YV9zaGVsbEBob3RtYWlsLmNvbQ%3D%3D> blog of origami creators <http://s.wisestamp.com/links?url=http%3A%2F%2Fneorigami.com%2F&sn=YV9zaGVsbEBob3RtYWlsLmNvbQ%3D%3D> *PRACTIGAMI: <http://s.wisestamp.com/links?url=http%3A%2F%2Fneorigami.com%2Fneo%2Findex.php%2Fen%2Fannouncements%2Fitem%2F70983-practigami-now-sold-through-createspace-and-amazon-europe&sn=YV9zaGVsbEBob3RtYWlsLmNvbQ%3D%3D> *Neorigami's first printed book <http://s.wisestamp.com/links?url=http%3A%2F%2Fneorigami.com%2Fneo%2Findex.php%2Fen%2Fannouncements%2Fitem%2F70983-practigami-now-sold-through-createspace-and-amazon-europe&sn=YV9zaGVsbEBob3RtYWlsLmNvbQ%3D%3D> 2014-08-29 12:00 GMT-05:00 <origami-requ...@lists.digitalorigami.com>: > Send Origami mailing list submissions to > origami@lists.digitalorigami.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.digitalorigami.com/mailman/listinfo/origami > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > origami-requ...@lists.digitalorigami.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > origami-own...@lists.digitalorigami.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Origami digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
