eastern vs Western - not60yet


Posted: Sep 27, 2014

This is a ? about encephalitis.  In the word book, eastern (lc) equine viral encephalitis and Western (UC) equine encephalitis. 

 

Anybody know why eastern is not capitalized while Western is capitalized?  Makes no sense to me!  Undecided  Thanks!

Lower case both of them - sm

The word book is wrong.In this case, western is not a proper name.
