Editor: We need to capitalize “Pegasus” throughout the book. Me: They’re awesome, but worthy of capitalization? You don’t capitalize the word “unicorns” so why do we capitalize “Pegasus”? Editor: There aren’t Pegasuses. There’s only one mythical creature whose formal name was “Pegasus.” All the rest are just winged horses. Me: There’s only one Pegasus? Like the Highlander? My whole life feels like a lie.
