Language frolics

Readers interested in language might like to know of a relatively new German word. It is 'downloaden'.
It means the Germans are saying/writing 'Es gibt SMS zu downloaden'. And of course they call the mobile telephone, 'Das Handy', pronouncing it 'hendy'.

And a question. Why is Honda spelling 'Sie' - the polite form of the pronoun with a lower case 's'?
