							| A doubt 
 |  
							| Hi dears, I use a book called "Friends United "  and a student of mine is puzzled with the fact that the word  " Discman" appears with its first letter ALWAYS in capital letter, no matter its position in the sentence. There are many situations of the same thing happening every time we run into this word.I just can �t find a reason for it, since it isn �t a name or something like that. Does anyone have any explanation for that?
 Thanks in advance :)
  Claudia
