    Apple predictive text doesn't capitalise hitler but type Stalin Mao Lenin Churchill etc it does. Should he be treated differently. I am appalled by nazi atrocities and don't care either way but just thought it was interesting.

    Yea as it's a family name.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Yes.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    Isn't the name now retired? Any remaining Hitlers changed their last names?

    Yeah just because you spell it with a capital H, doesn't mean you like the guy.

    There was an Irish branch of the family. The O' Hitlers. One of them used to be a waiter in the shelbourne. One of them was called Paddy HItler.

    Saved by an Irishman !

    The Irishman who saved Hitler’s life in 1919 was Michael Keogh, a policeman’s son from Tullow, Co. Carlow.

    Yes, 'Hitler' comes with a capital letter. So does 'Nazi'

    I want to know in what context you were sending the text ..
    Especially as it has Stalin Mao Lenin Churchill mentioned

    Maybe you were asking someone on a date ?

    Maybe if you spell it Adolf the capital H will follow.

    Not being a grammar nazi (:)) but it probably doesn't recognise the misspelt name.

    Interesting, an Irishman saved Hitler. On the otherhand, an Irishwoman tried to assassinate Mussolini once. On two occasions an Irish person was involved in what could have been huge history altering events.
