Capital letters

[Concillian]

Hi,
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.

I don't think commas belong in that sentence, even if you would pause in speech, but I'm no English major. Regardless, the analogy holds if you take the word uncle out completely.

I helped Jack off the horse.
i helped jack off the horse.

You can't tell me commas belong in those sentences.
