I think as long as you are consistent, it should be correct either way. I would probably find a different way to refer to him if I was worried about a possible grammar deduction.Alissa Nesson wrote: ↑05 Mar 2024, 19:57 I’m currently writing a review for a book where a boy named Cachi is sometimes normal-sized and sometimes tiny. I’ve been differentiating by calling him “tiny Cachi” sometimes. I’m torn on whether I should be capitalizing both Tiny and Cachi (Tiny Cachi”) or whether I should just leave “tiny” with a small “t” (tiny Cachi). AI says both are technically grammatically correct but it’s standard to capitalize descriptive words as part of a name for emphasis, but I’m afraid the editor won’t agree. How standard is this? What would you do? Thanks!
