Capitalization: is divided into two parts: capitalizing proper nouns, other uses of capitalization. Capitalizing proper nouns: capitalize proper nouns (names of speci c, individual persons, places, and things, capitalization persons. The names and initials of persons are always capitalized. Parts of names of foreign origin follow the conventions of the native country and do not capitalize articles like al, de, du, la, van, von, etc. When civil, military, religious, and professional titles precede a name and are used as part of the name, they are capitalized. If the title is used in place of a name in speaking directly to a person, it is capitalized. If the title is used when referring to a person, it is not capitalized. If a title is used following a name, the title is not capitalized. The names of groups of people (racial, linguistic, tribal, religious, etc. ) are normally capitalized: capitalization of places.
