12. What About Capitalization?

13. Rules Always capitalize the first and last word Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinate conjunctions Lowercase all articles, coordinate conjunctions ("and", "or", "nor"), and prepositions regardless of length, when they are other than the first or last word Lowercase the "to" in an infinitive

14. Confusing Examples My Travels up Nova Scotia's South Shore (correct; "up" is functioning as a preposition and should be lowercased) Bringing in the Sheaves (wrong; "in" is functioning as an adverb and should be capitalized)
