Correct spelling regarding capitalisation
|
|
Hello, everyone!
My question is a very simple one:
Which alternative is correct - "This is an Easter bunny" or "This is an easter bunny"?
The only difference is the capitalisation of the word Easter / easter in the middle of a sentence... should it be capitalised or not? |

Easter needs to be capitaluzed. It �s the name of a holiday. |

Thank you, Doot! I thought so, but I wasn �t sure, as I was afraid it might be an interference from my native Portuguese (in Portuguese that is the rule, but capitalization rules sometimes differ in English and in Portuguese).
And now I know for sure! |

And if you had used "the" instead of "an," you would have needed to capitalize both words, Easter Bunny, as the name of a character. |
