I understand that you are supposed to capitalize the first letter, as well as “main” words. What I don’t quite get is what am I supposed to not capitalize. Especially, verbs and prepositions.
To? In? Through? Except? Are? Is? Into?
In: 15
Everyone follows variations on similar rules. Unlike another commenter, I always capitalize Is. I don’t capitalize articles and prepositions like the, in, to and from. But, when the preposition is 5 letters or more, I capitalize it, like Above and Through. What you’re confronting here is not only people having their personal preferences, but schools, corporations, newspapers, etc. may each have their own set of “style guidelines”, so you should follow the guidelines that apply to any document you’re writing.
