You seem to be of the mistaken impression that pointing to an online definition proves something. Using your technique everything is a word! "Mah Niggaz!" is valid English if you buy into the "If enough people mangle it it becomes correct" bullshit. One can readily determine from your link that "lowercase", while not a verb, has been commonly misused as one beginning in 1908.

No. You are missing the big picture. You can "lowercase" the P all you want (erroneously) but don't surround it in quotes, and don't use "lowercase" without quotes since it isn't actually a verb.

You keep prattling on like you have something to teach; you'd do far better to accept the fact that you lack a basic understanding of the English language. Don't feel bad. I don't speak whatever your primary language is and so I give you credit for grasping my language to the level that you have! I have no doubt that I would perform equally as miserably if I tried to teach you lessons in whatever language it is that you know how to speak and write properly.

In this case Physics has been anthropomorphized and so just as you would write: Bill didn't kill him; John did" one would also write,as I did, "Billy isn't the one who runs around killing people; Physics is the slimy grease-ball that goes around killing people!"

That's two English lessons I gave you now for free; fancy a third intellectual and philosophical beating?

It's actually pretty humorous to see how many Grammar Nazi's have no idea what they are talking about. The sentence could certainly be re-written to make it more clear, but you absolutely couldn't put a semi-colon after Samsung. You would literally be taking a syntactically correct though awkward sentence and converting it to a syntactically broken aggregation of words desperately wanting to make sense, but never quite getting there.
