Understanding Headline Capitalization

For headline capitalization, the first letter of each word in a phrase or expression is capitalized, much like the headlines in newspapers, which is where the term originated. In other words, we capitalize the first letter of each word in a phrase that is treated with headline capitalization, or headline caps for short.
This Is Headline Capitalization.

Camel Case

Similarly to headline caps is camel case capitalization. In camel case, the first letter of every word in a phrase or sentence is also capitalized as well, but the spaces between the words are removed. This style became popular among computer programmers who needed descriptive titles that were easy to read but not permitted to have any spaces. Replacing spaces with underscores became a tedious process as more and more names and titles were added to a project, so camel case was the solution.

Uses of Headline Capitalization

Headline capitalization is used, in standard practices, for titles of newspaper articles, titles of publications, titles of chapters, section headers, and proper names. However, authors may choose to treat words with headline caps at their own discretion.

The Dark Market

By P!apoose
Dark Market Once upon a time, and that time is now. Shen do Shen owns a small business in the dark market, which he keeps hidden in the back room of a legitimate business in the royal marketplace. The front business, also known as just a front, is a dry cleaning store. In the back room, Shen sells various spices as a luxury commodity to the wealthier class of citizens in the kingdom. Today is a special occasion for which the dry cleaner's store is closed and no visitors are permitted into the back market. The king has requested a visit a few days ago to purchase spice.

111 Semicolons (English)

By P!apoose
Home >> Grammar Style Guide >> Semicolons Understanding Semicolons Semicolons have a number of useful reasons to be included in a sentence or paragraph. Where colons can be useful outside of sentence structures, semicolons are typically limited to separating text in paragraphs or similar constructs. You may think semicolons are the halfway point between commas and colons, and in some respects, that assumption wouldn't be far from the truth. Where a comma offers a pause and a colon introduces something, a semicolon can be considered a halfway point between these two attributes. However, a semicolon adds value to a sentence with its own merits. At times, only a semicolon can offer the clear interpretation of text intended to be set off in a manner that other punctuation might not be able to achieve as precisely and clearly. Using a semicolon in a sentence may not be as forgiving as a misplaced comma or period , so special consideration should be taken before tr
