Study Notes
Capitalization Rules Overview
- Capitalization is essential for proper nouns, the first word of sentences, and titles of works.
- School subjects: Names of subjects are not capitalized, except for languages (e.g., French, Spanish). Course names are capitalized (e.g., Biology 101).
Sentence Correction Examples
- The first word in every sentence must always be capitalized.
- Direct quotes should capitalize the first word within the quotation.
- Common nouns (e.g., chicken parmesan) should not be capitalized unless they are part of a title.
Proper Nouns and Titles
- Names of specific organizations (e.g., NSCAA) and proper nouns should always be capitalized.
- Titles of books and works: Capitalize the first and last word, along with all significant words, but not articles or short conjunctions.
Specific Capitalization Rules
- Days and months should be capitalized (e.g., Monday, January).
- Races, nationalities, languages, and religions are capitalized; generic terms or colors referencing ethnicity are not.
- prefixes like "post-" are not capitalized when used with proper nouns.
Examples of Correct and Incorrect Capitalization
- Correct: "The Dalmatian walked over to me."
- Incorrect: "the dalmation walked over to me."
- Correct: "Swiss cheese is a tasty part of many sandwiches."
- Incorrect: "swiss cheese is a tasty part of many sandwiches."
Unique Cases to Note
- Specific recipe names are capitalized (e.g., "Grandma Betty's Fried Okra") while common dish names are not.
- The term "South" when referring to a region is capitalized; "south" indicating direction is not.
- Seasonal references (e.g., summer, winter) exist in lowercase.
Common Errors
- Sentences missing capitalization at the start.
- Assigning incorrect capitalization to common names or titles.
- Misidentifying when to capitalize items linked to importance or project names.
These rules ensure clarity and consistency in writing, particularly in academic and formal contexts.
