THE OTHER MARKS
ken, the first word of the continuation is not capitalized un-
less it is a proper noun or adjective or begins a new sentence:
He said, "We liked the movie very much."
"We," he said, "liked the movie very much."
With written quotations capitalization of the first word de-
pends on whether the quotation is introduced after a stop or
is worked into the sentence as a noun clause following that.
In the first example which follows, the quotation begins with
a capital; in the second, it does not, even though it may have
done so in the original:
G. K. Chesterton writes: "This is the vulgar optimism of
Dickens. . . ."
G. K. Chesterton writes that "this is the vulgar optimism of
Dickens. ..."
Capitalize Proper Names and Adjectives
A proper name is the designation of a particular person, place,
structure, and so on. A proper adjective is a modifier derived
from such a name.
Specific People
Harry Jones, Mary Winter, C. S. Lewis
When the name includes a particle, the particle should be
spaced and capitalized (or lowercased) according to accepted
usage for that name:
Gabriele D'Annunzio
Charles de Gaulle
Nouns, verbs, and modifiers derived from proper names
are not capitalized when used in a sense generalized from their
origin:
Charles Mackintosh BUT a mackintosh coat
the French language BUT french doors

PUNCTUATION
But if a proper adjective is used in a specialized sense
closely related to the name from which it derives, it should
be capitalized:
He had a de Gaullean sense of country.
Personal Titles
Capitalize these when they are part of a name but not
otherwise:
Judge Harry Jones BUT Harry Jones was made a judge.
Professor Mary Winter BUT Mary Winter became a professor.
National and Racial Groups and Their Languages
Amerindian Mexican
Australian Polish
German
Places: Continents, Islands, Countries, Regions, and so on
China, Chinese North America, North American
Europe, European Manhattan, Manhattanite
the East Coast 42 nd Street
New Jersey, New Jerseyan the North Pole
When a regional name is a common term given specific
application (like the Midwest of the United States), an adjec-
tive derived from it may or may not be capitalized. Consult
a dictionary or style manual for specific cases:
the Far East, Far Eastern history
the Midwest, midwestern cities
Structures: Names of Buildings, Bridges, and so on
the Brooklyn Bridge
the Empire State Building

THE OTHER MARKS 437
Institutions and Businesses

Columbia University BUT a university in the city
the Boston Symphony Orchestra BUT a symphony orchestra
General Motors BUT the motor industry
Governmental Agencies and Political Parties
the U.S. Congress BUT a congressional district
the Supreme Court BUT a municipal court
the Democratic Party BUT democratic countries
School Subjects and Courses
The subjects you take in college or high school are not capi-
talized unless they derive from proper nouns (this means lan-
guage courses only):
anthropology BUT English
chemistry BUT French
history BUT German
philosophy BUT Latin
Names of particular courses, however, are capitalized since
they are, in effect, titles:
biology BUT Biology 201
physics BUT Physics
When personified (that is, endowed metaphorically with hu-
man qualities) abstractions such as peace, war, winter are cap-
italized. In their conventional uses they are not:
We had a late spring last year.
Last year Spring arrived reluctantly, hanging her head and dragging
her feet.
