Uppercase letters

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.

Other places where you capitalize would be when you show respect to a person in a high-status role or position, especially if you are using their job title to stand in for their name.
For example, the Queen will be opening this leisure center.
Understood, thank you so much.
You’re welcome. Happy reading. :techie-studyinggray: I hope you don’t encounter any more problems and get a perfect score on your reviews.
