Capital letters
#12
Hi,

Quote:Just saw this and it was the best answer I've seen to this issue:

Capitalization is the the difference between:

I helped my uncle Jack off the horse.
and
i helped my uncle jack off the horse.
The grammar Nazi in me woke up and said you need some commas. As in "I helped my uncle, Jack, off the horse." Then the capitalization doesn't matter to the meaning.

BTW, if you say it aloud and pay attention, you can hear the pauses.
