Friendly amendment accepted.  In fact "Catalan" is a word in English, but it
is rarely (almost never) used as a noun.

I thought I was correcting a typo.  Spanish usage does not capitalize "alto"
as a part of placenames?  I thought it did, and I used to speak Spanish.
But perhaps Venezuelan practice is different from Chilean.

Do you want to submuit a correction patch for these, or shall I?
