Since guys like us love regulation, can we get a new rule for this site? In order to use the term versatile, the context must be defined.

If just talking about something that's versatile, by Webster's definition, you just say versatile. eg: My dog can hunt pheasants, speak 3 Hmong dialects, & do card tricks. He's really versatile.

If you're using versatile to mean a dog recognized by NAVHDA, it must be capitalized, since it's part of a title, & in quotes, since it really doesn't mean a dog is more versatile (by Webster's definition) than any other dog. eg: I like my "Versatile" dog because he points birds (usually) & gophers (all the time), as well as being a top notch harmonica player.

I think such a rule would alleviate a lot of confusion on this site. Thoughts?

:ROFLMAO:. I am versatile enough to make the switch on this topic. For clarification of this new regulation, is it Versatile or VERSATILE? Asking for a friend!
