Grammatical error or not?

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

Grammatical error or not?

Post by Miracle Kingss »

“...hinted at the possibility of some more exquisite reading in book two." Should book be capitalized? Does book become a proper noun because it is used to represent the second book in a series?

Hi, Miracle. I could not find a definite answer to this. I am curious and will keep my eye open for this rule. However, to be safe, I suggest if your are going to refer "book two" without including it in the title, refer to it as "the second book". I believe that if you are referring to "book two" and you have included it in the title it should be capitalized. However, I am not absolutely sure about this. Hopefully, a few more people can offer their opinions based on a verifiable grammar rule. :techie-studyinggray:
