Punctuation and Capitalization

In titles, capitalize pronouns if they are a part of the title or are at the beginning. For example, in the title "She Walked in Darkness," capitalize the pronoun "She." However, in regular sentences within the title, follow standard capitalization rules for pronouns.

Poets generally capitalize for a variety of reasons depending on the poet and time-period. The most common reason would be for emphasis or importance of the subject or reference. For example, Puritan writers often capitalized words that are generally not capitalized in common writing, such as Hope, Faith and Sovereignty, the latter referring to God and therefore receiving a capital in reverence.

Proper grammar and punctuation are learned, practiced, and perfected over many years beginning in childhood. Some people do not get correct education. Others form lazy habits or just don't care. However, in other instances, people might have learned ESL, English as Second Language. Grammar and punctuation differ in other languages and English is one of the harder languages to learn, especially for writing. Lastly, some people think it is cute or they try to be cute by using slang and urban shorthand, or ways they learned to text; these never pass as intelligent written responses.

You can use a hyphen (-) to show where a word has been divided when it wraps onto a new line, and the word continues on the next line.
