german tourist or German tourist? [closed]
I have learned that 'german' as a noun, written with upper case letter whilst 'german' as an adjective should be with lower case letter. Please guide me more by posting the rules if necessary.
Solution 1:
There are some compound nouns, like "french fries", which are common enough that people use lower case for them. However, this doesn't apply to most uses of "German". Maybe you could write "german measles" (although this is usually capitalized). But you certainly shouldn't write *"a german automobile" or *"a german tourist".
