Well, yeah, but - for the sake of stoopid humor, we will always overlook that.

Also people tend to "hear" things in their heads when they read, which negates the capitalization. And when it comes to that word we're all about nine years old. There's just no way to read that sentence and have one's mind not go there with it.

So generally speaking, any time somebody wants to express his/her appreciation for Mr. Dick's body of work* in English, use of the author's full name is highly recommended.


*Case in point: I can't read Mr. Dick's body of work and not giggle.
