Boy, this just gets weirder. I noticed that if you say "the seeing eye", then MS Word wants it capitalized...but if you say "a seeing eye", then they don't care.
One exception, however: If you say "A seeing eye rules." then MS Word wants the capitals!
Here are more examples of what the program wants you to do:
The Seeing Eye rules everything.
A Seeing Eye rules.
There is the Seeing Eye.
There is a seeing eye.
A seeing eye watches.
A seeing eye is blue.
A Seeing Eye rules.
So the only case I've found in which "a" seeing eye calls for caps is when it's "a Seeing Eye rules".
So the caps code for "Seeing Eye" is not tied to the phrase "seeing eye". It is tied to either "the---seeing eye" or "a seeing eye rules".
That's what I have found so far.
That's a pretty specific code, isn't it? It obviously cannot be because "Seeing Eye" is a trademark or anything else like that.
