							| Capitalization :when ? 
 |  
							| Dearest Teachers,   I would like to ask all the teachers herein about the universal grammatical rule in view of CAPITALIZATION of the first letter of every word . When it is appropriate to capitalize the first letter of a word ? I am looking forward to hearing from you all. Thank you  |  14 Dec 2009

							| Hi,   in titles of books and songs we capitalise every noun, verb, adjective and adverb,  but not articles and prepositions, as far as I know. |  14 Dec 2009

							| Hi, I have to agree with Lana. That was the rule I was taught in school about capitalization. |  14 Dec 2009

							| In Klingon, letters inside words are capitalized ;-) 
 As for an English universal rule, think bigger. I found 17 of the buggers on this site. My guess is there could be more. Ask Santa for a Swan if you �ve been nice.
