(I think) if one capitalises every word, then they all have to be taken as proper nouns, rather than a mix of adjectives, nouns and verbs (as depicted in the tree diagram on the wiki page). At that point you're just failing to count properly ;)

You are quite right - I remembered there were eight words, but did not think through the capitalisation.
Odd that I have -4 points on it - it seemed vaguely connected to the rest of the thread.
