Rainbow Dash just got out of gym class, and she's off to English 101. A few years ago, a portal opened up and a bunch of weird monkey things came through and started attending classes to help learn about Equestrian society, while ponies started learning things about human society. One of the biggest issues these races ended up running into is capitalization on pony races.
For years now, Firefox and Chrome have corrected the word "pegasus" to have a capital letter. The word itself is actually the name of a
mythological winged horse (which any of you who watched Disney movies as a kid would know of), which is why your browser flips out on you. We use it in a completely different way though, describing a race of winged ponies that live in the ponyland.
On the fanfiction side of the fandom, axing the capital "P" has been the norm, but is this correct? Should we consider the use of describing the "Pegasus race" a reason for capitalization?
