Common nouns do not use capital letters; common nouns are words for any person, place, thing, or idea. Proper nouns always use capitals; proper nouns are the names of a person, place, thing, or a title. For example:

common noun: burger, king

proper noun: Burger King, King Henry

Harry Cutter, M.D.

Cassandra Prophet, Ph.D.

Joe Citizen OBE
