I think this is true. I used regularly to make a distinction
between writers and Writers, and writing and Writing, which I think I
was making because I'd come to Canada and heard that capital W, which
wasn't so commonly there in the US.
It sounded like this: "Are you a writer?" "No, I'm not a Writer."
"I mean, do you write." "Well, yes, but I don't Write."
