Golfe : On parle très souvent du «Golfe», tout court. Il est à noter que, dans ce cas, le mot «golfe» s'écrit avec un «G» majuscule. Par contre, si on utilise l'appellation complète, «golfe» s'écrit avec un «g» minuscule, tandis que les adjectifs «Persique» ou «Arabo-Persique» prennent une majuscule initiale. 5, record 2, French, - golfe%20Persique
