But is a mass of text a text?  A mass of dogs is not a dog.

LAhE? None obviously fit.

How exactly are you using the capitals? Are they abbreviations for the letteral words? This seems to add a new wrinkle to an already confusing (if not confused) situation, since capital letters have different letteral words.

Because otherwise we would not be able to tell appart {mi}

But where did {MI} as short for {my ibu} come from?  I didn't know you could abbreviate and certainly would have thought of this abbreviation.
