I'm sorry to say that throughout this entire gallery the key item is being spelled French fry, with a capital F.  It really and truly is small cap -- see any authority on this. Webster's New Collegiate, 11th edition, gives a gazillion examples of French with a cap F, but has fries with a small one. As I recall, the Wikipedia article on fries has an *extensive* discussion of this point. [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 11:09, 7 August 2007 (CDT)

misspelling of a key word

I'm sorry to say that throughout this entire gallery the key item is being spelled French fry, with a capital F. It really and truly is small cap -- see any authority on this. Webster's New Collegiate, 11th edition, gives a gazillion examples of French with a cap F, but has fries with a small one. As I recall, the Wikipedia article on fries has an *extensive* discussion of this point. Hayford Peirce 11:09, 7 August 2007 (CDT)
