“Many, especially Orthodox people, always wrote the word “God” with a capital letter, endowing this word with a special, sacred meaning.

I am convinced that if people, even in unofficial correspondence, put a special meaning into certain words, they are free to write them both with a capital and a lowercase letter - as they please, ”Chernyshov emphasized.

At the same time, in business and official correspondence, one must, of course, rely on the established norms of the Russian language, he explained.

“In general, I support the proposal of the Ministry of Education,” concluded the interlocutor of RT.

Earlier, Kravtsov spoke about the proposal to write the word "god" with a capital letter.

As RIA Novosti recalls, by a government decree of August 8, 2021, a government commission on the Russian language was formed, within which the basic rules of Russian spelling were considered and approved.
