English Language Conventions
Word title capitalization
Extrated from Chicago Manual of Style a number of minor rules which are worth reading
- Always capitalize the first and the last word.
- Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinate conjunctions (“as”, “because”, “although”).
- Lowercase all articles, coordinate conjunctions (“and”, “or”, “nor”), and prepositions regardless of length, when they are other than the first or last word. (Note: NIVA prefers to capitalize prepositions of five characters or more (“after”, “among”, “between”).)
- Lowercase the “to” in an infinitive.
