Punctuation and Capitalization

Yes it should be capitalized.

Yes, Mozzarella should be capitalized.

The English borrowed the word "sergeant" from the French in about the Thirteenth Century. They spelled it several different ways and pronounced it both as SARgent and SERgeant. The latter was closer to the French pronunciation. The SARgeant pronunciation became the most popular, however, so that when the Nineteenth Century dictionary writers agreed that the word should be spelled "sergeant" they could not change the popular pronunciation. Thus, we say SARgeant while the French and others say SERgeant.

Sargent

English and French: in medieval times this did not denote a rank in the army, but was an occupational name for a servant, Middle English, Old French sergent (Latin serviens, genitive servientis, present participle of servire 'to serve'). The surname probably originated for the most part in this sense, but the word also developed various more specialized meanings, being used for example as a technical term for a tenant by military service below the rank of a knight, and as the name for any of certain administrative and legal officials in different localities, which may also have contributed to the development of the surname. The sense 'non-commissioned officer' did not arise until the 16th century.

If you are referring to the part of the USA on the east coast, yes, it is known as the "East Coast." But it would be lowercase in a sentence such as this: "The city of Durban lies on the east coast of South Africa."

Yes. When you type in capital letters it is fine for emphasis, WE WON or THANK YOU, but the speed at which people read is 12% faster with both upper and lower case and reading in all capitals raises blood pressure in readers by 5%, so there is physiological evidence for typing in ALL CAPS BEING YELLING, YOU RUDE SOB.

At the begining of a sentence, obviously, but also when it is the subject or is part of a things name.

If being used alone at the end of a letter then it should be capitalized. If it's following the word "yours" then it shouldn't be capitalized.

If you are referring to a specific king - and the "king" in this case is his title - then, yes, it should be capitalized, e.g., "King Midas had a golden touch."

In other instances, the word "king" is lowercase:
- Midas, the king, had a golden touch.
- The king and queen were present at the ceremony.

It is capitalized at the beginning of the sentence or when it forms part of the proper noun.

Examples:

The union of two people is established in marriage.

Mely watched the movie of Elton John and Leon Russel, The Union.

all the time

Only if it is the name of a class or the first word in the sentence. For instance, you could write, "I love algebra but my Algebra II teacher is very strict." and "Algebra is my second class of the day."

In all the different uses of the title Godspeed, apparently it is capitalized. See, below.

When used as a noun, as it wishing someone a safe and swift journey, because it contains the word God -- God's speed -- it is also capitalized in that use.

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

No. Greetings are not capitalized. They're pretty much like a sentence or part of the document itself, not like a title. It's just written as "To whom it may concern:" ============================================================= I performed an advanced search on Google, and typed in "to whom it may concern" along with the words "capital," "capitalize" and "capitalization." It returned 74,600 hits. A quick review of the first 200 hits indicated that one should either: (1) Capitalize all words; (2) Capitalize only the first word; (3) Capitalize every letter in every word; (4) Do not capitalize any of the words; (5) Capitalize the word "To" and follow it with a colon, and then either (a) capitalize or (b) do not capitalize the other words; (6) Capitalize "To" and "Whom" only; (7) Capitalize "To" and "May" only; Capitalize "To" "Whom" and "Concern" only; or (8) Capitalize every word except "it." Of course, I might have missed a variation or two. I recall being taught in elementary school, over half a century ago, to treat the salutation like a title. That being the case, the rule for capitalizing titles is: Capitalize the first word and every word except conjunctions, articles and short prepositions. But I seem to remember being taught not to capitalize pronouns in a title either. The bottom line seems to be that no matter which form you choose, someone will think it is incorrect. My suggestion is to capitalize "To" only, but from the variety of choices I've seen, you can do pretty much as you please.

Whenever you mention the title of a poem, put quotation marks around the title

Neither of these words should be capitalized, as neither one is a proper noun. (Exception: Visa when used to refer to the credit card company.)

It is never correct, for the visa in your passport, or the company called Visa, to write it in all capital letters. Although Visa's logo is stylized as VISA, the company's (and by extension, card's) name is not in call caps.
