MSQ Grammar Lesson #4 Capitalization

People
  • Capitalize names of people, organizations, racial groups
  • Capitalize titles (doctor, professor, judge, etc) when referring to a specific person but not when referring only to an occupation.
  • Capitalize family relationships only when part of a person’s title (e.g. Aunt Trudy)
 
Dates and Events
  • Capitalize seasons only if part of a title (e.g. Spring 2010)
 
Titles of Works
  • Don’t capitalize short prepositions or articles (the, an, of, etc.) if they aren’t the first word of the title.
  1. I loved Romeo and Juliet.
