Enema Bandit's Dad,

Although I thank you for your suggestion, I must correct your notion regarding the capital e.

Capitalisation rules require proper adjectives be capitalised unless the association with the particular name has ceased. The association of "english" with the country England, has clearly ceased.

If I was referring to a specific test by name (e.g. "English Comprehension") conducted by a future employer, then capitalisation should have been used - but I wasn't being specific.

Examples:

"Are you familiar with Australian culture?"
"He enjoys the more earthly pleasures"
"It's all just greek to me"
"Such a word does not exist in the english language"
