Re: [Framers] Simple grammar question

Re: [Framers] Simple grammar question
It's really a style issue rather than a matter of grammar. And most recent style guides have trended toward downstyling anything that is not a true proper noun. -FR From: Framers on behalf of Doug Sent: Thursday, June 6, 2019 1:48 PM To: Framers Subject: [Framers] Simple grammar question Should the word "position" be capitalized when it is used as a label in a sentence?
