[pbmserv] June vs june

[Lyman Hurd <lhurd@yahoo.com>]

Merriam-Webster (www.m-w.com) reports "june bug" as a
non-captitalized usage although  it also cites "June
bug".  Therefore, it would seem to me that "june"
fails the "always" capitalized criterion!

That being said, www.scrabble.com fails to recognize
it!

Cheers,

Lyman
