OBS

Cámara de los Lores : La Fundación del Español Urgente(Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el sustantivo "lord" se escribe con minúscula, pero su plural, "lores", se escribe en mayúscula en "Cámara de los Lores". [...] "Lores" comienza con mayúscula en "Cámara de los Lores", pues los nombres de organismos e instituciones se escriben con iniciales mayúsculas, tal como indica la Ortografía de la lengua española. En caso de que "lores" se emplee como denominación alternativa de "Cámara de los Lores", es adecuado escribir dicha palabra en mayúscula : May teme otro tropiezo en los "Lores", esto es, que la primera ministra teme tropezar en la "Cámara de los Lores".
