15) Ejemplario sobre el uso de las mayúsculas y de las minúsculas en la Argentina y en el mundo hispá
Author
Description
¿Qué valor tiene no usar mayúsculas o minúsculas cuando corresponde hacerlo? El uso de mayúsculas y de minúsculas constituye un tema arduo que carece de fácil solución, sobre todo cuando, al escribir, prima la subjetividad a causa de la premura, el gusto, la intención literaria o la rebelde ignorancia. También cada país de lengua española las emplea de acuerdo con sus normas locales, y no siempre hay coincidencias con la norma panhispánica.

Description
Lo que escribimos es, sin duda, espejo de lo que somos. Las palabras aparecen vacías, porque los tiempos en que vivimos devoran la espiritualidad del hombre y enaltecen las apariencias en pro del interés material: todo vale -hasta el error- si es sinónimo de conveniencia. Entonces, las voces brillan de manera artificial, porque ya no se pesan los significados. Es lo mismo un anacoluto que una oración ordenadamente construida, una preposición...
