Scrib.sheet: Capitalization. How to Master Academic Capitalization
"She moved to western France." "The company expanded into Western Europe." Same word, western, but one is a lowercase direction and the other names a recognized political and cultural region. Knowing the difference is what separates writing that reads as careless from writing that reads as controlled.
This Scrib.sheet covers ten distinct capitalization rules: proper vs. common nouns, professional titles, days and holidays, cardinal directions, languages and nationalities, titles of works, title case vs. sentence case, acronyms, theories and laws, and historical periods, with the exceptions and edge cases that trip up even careful writers, not just the basic rule.
Every section includes clear explanations and discipline-neutral examples showing exactly when the same word changes case depending on context.
Bonus: 20 practice sentences covering every rule in the sheet, with a full answer sheet explaining the reasoning behind each correction, not just the fix itself.
What you get 14-page PDF, instant download, yours to keep. Best for undergraduate, postgraduate and international students writing in English. 10 capitalization rules with exceptions and edge cases explained. 20 practice sentences with a full answer sheet and reasoning notes.
