Grammar
Capitalization Rules For Words Appearing In Titles
0 Hi! Great Forum! 02 br
02 br
00 I was hoping someone might help me in a project I'm working on. 02 br
02 br
00 I have about a thousand files and folders I'll be going through over the next couple months. Ranging everything from music MP3s to games to eBooks. I'm looking to be as detailed as possible when renaming each file. 02 br
02 br
01 b 00 Here is my question: 02 b 02 br
02 br
00 Where can I find a list of all the words that should be capitalized when used in a title? 02 br
02 br
00 For example; I'm aware that words like " 01 i 00 the 02 i 00 " and " 01 i 00 of 02 i 00 " are generally not capitalized . But I'd like to find a broader sense of what should or should not be, to ensure I am organizing an accurate and professional archive as possible. 02 br

00 Thanks for all the help! 0-

0 Hi Jason, 02 br 02 br 00 This is a "style" matter and not "grammar" and therefore you'll see different styles. The AP Stylebook may not agree with the Chicago Manual of Style, which may not agree with MLA or APA. 02 br 02 br 00 But the one rule is to always be consistent.
