  12. What About Capitalization?

  13. Rules • Always capitalize the first and last word • Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinate conjunctions • Lowercase all articles, coordinate conjunctions ("and", "or", "nor"), and prepositions regardless of length, when they are other than the first or last word • Lowercase the "to" in an infinitive

  14. Confusing Examples • My Travels up Nova Scotia's South Shore • (correct; "up" is functioning as a preposition and should be lowercased) • Bringing in the Sheaves • (wrong; "in" is functioning as an adverb and should be capitalized)
