agree  Aurora Humarán (X): Nuestro idioma "cambia" de nombre. HOY(hace unos años)la única opción es "español". Obviamente porque castellano es menos abarcativo. También es cierto que hace unos años la sentencia de la RAE había sido a favor de "castellano".

agree  Atenea Acevedo (X): Aurora tiene toda la razón, aunque en España prefieran denominarlo "castellano" por cuestiones regionales y políticas. El nombre correcto de nuestro idioma es "español".

disagree  OLMO: Hay cuatro idiomas españoles (y no uno): el castellano, el catalán, el gallego y el vascuence. El castellano (y ninguno de los otros) es el idioma común de la Argentina y de España (salvando los naturales regionalismos de ambos, desde luego).

Explanation:
Queridos colegas, no es por llevar la contraria. Español se escribe con mayúscula inicial. No es lo mismo, ni es igual.
Que disfruten su trabajo, como yo disfruto el mío.

neutral  Paul Roige (X): Nadie te impide escribirlo con mayúscula pero no existe la obligación. Tengo 5 diccionarios de español y ni uno lo escribe con mayúscula. Sigamos disfrutando :-)
