Capitalizing it when referring to a specific region was your criteria.
If I live in a place where there is only one mountain range nearby, and I say, I am from the mountains, that doesn't necessarily mean that I am from the one mountain range nearby. If there is a mountain range that is known as "the Mountains," though, yes, I think you would capitalize it when referring to it. The southern United States are known as "the South." When I say, "I am from the South," and I am clearly referring to the southern United States, I am referring to specific region, which, again, under your previous explanation, should be capitalized.
The specificity has to be in the wording itself, not in the intent. Almost every noun is specific in its intent, but capitalization comes into play when something specific is known just from its being written/spoken, without context.
I'm at work right now (I work in a huge file wearhouse so that lawyers can tell me what to do) losing my mind. A lawyer requested over 200 files from 75 different boxes all over the wearhouse. It's a big task, but I'm not usually one to get to upset over anything that is in my job description. But one thing that will put me over the edge, is 75 boxes from the 70's and 80's that nobody had the common sense to label and organize. Just hundreds of papers, not in folders, just totally thrown into a box. Lawyers should be removed from the planet (unless there are any inforooers ). They are unorganized, lazy, and caused the Holocaust. When a lawyer is born, every man on the planet stops masturbating. They just suddenly lose all interest in feeling any enjoyment.

2 cents: I have lived all over the place so I think it is funny how protective some people are about where they live. We all know the south is the only place in the US worth a damn. Oh wait, not that's Kali, or was it Oregon, oh yea it's smaller, it's NYC. There are great and bad places all over the world. Speaking of "where people Think you live". I live in Denver. Well to a lot of people in the world, I live in the mountains. Yea I am a mile high but I don't live in the friggin mountains. Second, we don't close Colorado down in the winter. We love the snow. We have more sun each hear than San Diego. We are not a COW town, although we love our steak. Lastly for my left coast friends: I don't live in the East. Yea I am east of you, but I live (usually I say in the West) but in the mid-west maybe. Rant, I need more coffee. cr****

FYP
Thanks typing on my phone is a real pain in the arse! With big words like that it wants me to seperate them and turn them into two different words.

LOL, skimmed right over it. For some reason "masterbate" always stands out to me. And as rampant masturbation is, we should at least spell it correctly!
This isn't even the first time today I've been accused of starting the Holocaust. Step yo game up blackdynamite.
See it's true !
But really though, I'd rather beat an entire hospital's worth of newborn children with a canvas bag filled with kittens and puppies, than share 1% of my oxygen with a lawyer.

Context was the entire point of my previous posts, so I guess this is where we disagree.

The best part is that I knew I misspelled masturbate right when you corrected me, but had no idea I spelled warehouse incorrectly twice. What does this say about me?

The lack of half-stars as an option is what the problem is. There is a massive gap between "I didn't like it" and "I liked it" that cannot be conveyed with the simple 5 star system.
Since getting rid of cable and opening up my Netflix and Hulu to roommates, I don't bother with anything anymore (ratings, queues, etc.). The things that are suggested to me aren't within the slightest realm of interest to me.

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Anyone done a Universal Studios Orlando vacation? Leaving for one tomorrow, still trying to find a hotel that is reasonable and maybe walking distance. Also any must see Citywalk nightlife?

If you get ambitious you can remove things from your watched list so it doesnt use them to suggest anymore, but that does seem hard.
On the subject of star ratings, The only thing I really rate are books on goodreads which also is on,y whole stars. I go something like this 5 stars - I love it, basically worked its way into my "favorites" list. 4 stars - thoroughly enjoyed, would absolutely recommend, but not quite a favorite. 3 stars - satisfied, it is what is, didn't dislike. 2 stars - didn't enjoy at all, wouldn't recommend, but read completely 1 star - bad, usually reserved for material I can't even dredge through to completion.
