Upper Case Respect
Nouns are things; some nouns are more important than others — they’re called “proper nouns”. Proper Nouns receive capital letters, to increase their importance. Kathleen Parker, in a recent column in the Washington Post, called it “Upper Case Respect” — a term that describes the guideline very well. Which nouns deserve your Upper Case Respect are your decisions. Ain’t grammar fun!
