What Words Should Be Capitalized in a Title?
There’s more than one right answer to this one (Grammar Girl).
I try to use the formatting suggested in the Chicago Manual of Style, mostly because it’s what I learned in school:
Capitalize the first word of the title, the last word of the title, and all nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, subordinating conjunctions, and a few conjunctions. Prepositions are only capitalized if they are used adjectivally or adverbially. For example you’d capitalize the word “up” in a title that read “Squiggly Looked Up a Word” but not in a title that read “Squiggly Walked up the Mountain.
What about you? What style of title capitalization do you use?
