Um, well, I'm one of those Canadians south of the 49th, and if I recall from the
"grammar" school readers (seriously), "eh" is not a proper noun, and so would
not be capitalized, unless it is the first word in a sentence.

That's right, eh?  (^:

But hey, I note also that 'round here (the bay area), it's ok to substitute
"huh" for "eh,"  which works just as well....

BTW, thank you to this list and Otmar, because, although it took me a while, I
now own an '87 synchro westfalia!  (where do I make those donations?!)
