It's very obvious that the whole intent of Coliseum was to toss any card that had "cannot be negated" in the special ability, whether the C is capitalized or not, as it is written both ways on certain enhancements. It's grasping at straws and quite trivial and unnecessary to say Coliseum shouldn't work if the C isn't capitalized.

It's grasping at straws and quite trivial and unnecessary to say Coliseum shouldn't work if the C isn't capitalized. Fixed that for you. While I disagree on the idea that "Trumpet" vs "trumpet" doesn't matter, I do see where phrasing in abilities, such as "cannot be negated", might not be as stringent.That said, in a game that is built entirely around precise wording, I think it's somewhat lazy to dismiss this as something that simply doesn't matter, as the whole point of quotations in these types of abilities should be to distinguish targets, and only targets that match the quotations exactly should be affected. At least, that's how I see it. I thought it prudent to bring up this question in order to:A) Codify the rulings for quotations if there is noneB) Find out if there is a written rule for quotationsC) Reinforce the need for consistent language and precise wording on cardsThat is all.
