...sorry, forgot formatting, spelcheck

I certainly know the difference between "Λ" and "λ" and "Θ" and "θ" and "Ε" and "ε".

I was talking about English translations. Original Greek manuscripts were all in capitals. Try looking at the English translations:

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (NIV)

1 Peter 1:23 23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. (NIV)

Are you still in denial?

Interesting discussion about the meaning of "word" logos found in the Strongs concordance:

In John, denotes the essential Word of God, Jesus Christ, the personal wisdom and power in union with God, his minister in creation and government of the universe, the cause of all the world's life both physical and ethical, which for the procurement of man's salvation put on human nature in the person of Jesus the Messiah, the second person in the Godhead, and shone forth conspicuously from His words and deeds.

Note: A Greek philosopher named Heraclitus first used the term Logos around 600 B.C. to designate the divine reason or plan which coordinates a changing universe.
