At the company I work for, we obviously capitalize our product, but someone said that we should be capitalizing the "domain features" as well.
For example, our product deals with creating clips and segments from multimedia. So according to this person, writing up some instructional material about these features would look like this:
In order to create a Clip, you need to use the Work Area to cut out Segments.
However, I think it should look like this:
In order to create a clip, you need to use the work area to cut out segments.
Who is correct?
@romeocharlie,
You are. Might be different if it were a headline beginning an advertisement.
@roger,
Thanks. And yes, I agree. Capitalization is different depending on where it's located, but in a sentence structure like this and in the body of our software I figured it has to be lower case.
I disagree.
You are directing people to specific places, unique to the directions. It's not just a clip, it's your Clip.
@PUNKEY,
You haven't changed my mind. If I speak of my mother, she's a very specific mother, but it's still lower case. The only time to capitalize the word would be is if I am using the word as her name, like 'Good morning, Mother.'
I'm oddly not all that keen on capitalization. I fluant norms re always capitalizing countries in written online conversation, busywork, here on a2k; I don't capitalize words like 'catholic' and similar, as I was taught to.
Eh!
This involves instructional directions. Not only are the words capitalized , they are usually bold. Look up any instructions online
I stay with my opinion.
@ossobucotemp,
I agree that I used normal usage takes when dealing with our associates online, or before online. Depended on the client. Back in the day, we had some interesting folks. Also an attourney from afar.
I suppose our poster can gage that.
Stumble It!
