Punctuation and Capitalization

It really depends upon the sentence. Remember, a comma indicates a slight pause. If you would pause when speaking that sentence at that location, then put in a comma to indicate that.

Yes. It should be North Central Region.

Capitalize compass points when they designate geographical parts of a country, region or city or when used as part of proper names to designate a world division. Do not capitalize when used to indicate parts of the states or provinces.

Examples:

West India

northern California

Not unless you name a particular uncle. For example: it is capitalized if you name a particular uncle like "Uncle Steve" because it is a name of an uncle. So, no, uncle it's self does not need to be capitalized.

"e.g." stands for "exempli gratia" and is typically followed by a comma, as in: "There are many delicious fruits, e.g., apples and oranges."

Yes, "Web log" should be capitalized when referring to a specific type of blog that focuses mainly on websites. However, the more commonly used term is "weblog" or "blog," which are not typically capitalized.

Considering it's a fairly new made-up word, you've got some leeway.

If you're going to approach Muggledom as a group with a distinct cultural identity then I'd suggest capitalizing it.

If you're just using the word 'muggle' as an ordinary descriptive term -- calling someone a muggle the same way you might call them an athlete, a leader, or a southpaw -- then I'd suggest leaving it uncapitalized.

Just be consistent, whichever you pick.

No, except at the beginning of a sentence because it is

n.

The title of an article is also called the heading, or it may be called the headline if it is an important newspaper article.

A properly written sentence starts with a capital letter.

Yes, you can use an apostrophe in "resume's" to indicate possession (e.g., "the resume's format"). However, it is more common to avoid the use of apostrophes in the plural form of "resume." So, "resumes" is generally preferred.

The literary device for the continued use of the word "and" instead of using commas is called polysyndeton. This technique involves repeating conjunctions (such as "and") in quick succession within a sentence for emphasis or stylistic effect. It can create a sense of urgency, rhythm, or a feeling of abundance in the text.

The capital of Ohio is Columbus, and the capitol building is the Ohio State house

I believe it should have an apostrophe, but it is often left out. It's the first day of, or belonging to, the New Year. It is the New Year's first day. Within a generation or two, we will probably never see the apostrophe used for New Year's Day; it will go the way of archaic usage. If current trends are any indication, apostrophe ess will probably shift from indicating the possessive forms of most nouns (its current use) to the general plural form (still considered incorrect currently).

Inever wa

nted to be trapped i

n the elevator.

yes becasue cousins is plural you would do this: cousins'

The apostrophe in "master's" indicates possession, showing that something belongs to the master. It is used in this context to show that the degree or qualification is owned by or awarded to the individual who holds it.

No, unless it is the first word of a sentence or part of a proper noun.

Yes, when it is a proper noun -- the name of a Roman god, a planet, a city in Florida, and an early US missile system. There is currently no common noun for "jupiter."

Yes, in a title you would typically capitalize all the major words, including "about," unless it is a short preposition like "of" or "in."

Yes, "Reading" should be capitalized in "Reading teachers" to indicate that it refers to a specific subject or field of teaching, which is focused on the skill of reading.

Yes, job titles are typically capitalized when used as a title before a person's name or when the title is used in place of the person's name. For example: "Dr. Smith will present the findings," or "The CEO is attending the conference."

Use a colon when addressing someone. For example, "Dear Mr. Smith:"

Avoid exclamation points. For example, "I look forward to speaking with you soon." Instead of "I look forward to speaking with you soon!"

When signing a letter or email, use a comma. For example, "Sincerely, John Smith"

It should be--- Don't close the door and don't lock it.

A sentence punctuated as a whole sentence is a compound sentence. This is taught in 3rd grade.
