Europeans lowercase 'Christ'

Thanks to The Unseen Blogger

A new grammar rule devised in the Netherlands and Belgium stipulates the word "Christ" shall be spelled with a lowercase "c."
The rule was part of a Dutch orthography reform published in October, reported Canada Free Press.

The paper cites a German newssite, Kath.net, in reporting that the new guidelines also indicate the Dutch word for "Jews" (Joden) is to be spelled with a capital "J" when referring to nationality and with a lower-case "j" when referring to the religion.
The changes – made by the main linguistic authority for the Dutch language, Nederlandse Taalunie – become mandatory next August.
