Uppercase or Lowercase? Learn the Case!

The definition of capitalization is fairly simple. It’s the practice of making certain letters uppercase, or capitalized, when needed. Knowing when to use proper capitalization isn’t as simple, especially for non-native English writers.

When it comes to capitalization, it’s important to use the correct case because it lends to your credibility as a writer. If an article contains excessive capitalized words in unnecessary situations, it will send a message of inexperience to the reader. If a brand or proper name isn’t capitalized, it could send a message of disregard for the lack of attention to detail. Bottom line, it’s essential to use the correct case!

If you’re unsure of when to use capitalization in your writing, review the rules and examples below to give you a better idea.

Staple Rules

#1: Beginning of a Sentence
Always capitalize the first letter of a word in the beginning of a sentence.

#2: The Pronoun “I”
Always capitalize the pronoun “I” and its variations: I’ll, I’m, I’ve, I’d.

Rules of Proper Nouns

A proper noun is different from a common noun in that it refers to a specific, distinctive person, place or thing, rather than a generic person, place or thing. These include:

#3: Names of People
Capitalize public figures, specific people, and specific nicknames.

Uppercase: Mother Theresa, Stephen King, my sister Amanda, my friend Scooter
Lowercase: charity worker, writer, sister or friend (when used generically)

#4: Names of Places
Capitalize landmarks, buildings, geographical regions, cities, states, countries, and continents.

Uppercase: Central Park, Willis Tower, North West, Los Angeles, Florida, Canada, Europe
Lowercase: the park, the building, left, city, state, country, continent

#5: Names of Organizations
Capitalize political, government, national, racial, social, civil, religious, and athletic groups.

Uppercase: American Red Cross, Peace Corps, New York Yankees, Chinese, Democrats
Lowercase: community, charity, the baseball team, politicians

#6: Brands
Capitalize specific product names, names of companies, names of websites, and trademarked words.

Uppercase: Kleenex, Apple, iPad, Yahoo!, McDonald’s
Lowercase: tissues, cola, tablet, cheeseburger

#7: Dates
Capitalize days of the week, months of the year, and holidays.

Uppercase: Monday, December, Halloween
Lowercase: today, next month, the party

#8: Family Members
Capitalize the names of family members when you’re using the family title in place of their real name; and capitalize their family title when it’s part of their name.

Uppercase: I love Mother. / My Aunt Mary is funny.
Lowercase: I love my mother. / My aunt is funny.

#9: Professional Titles
Capitalize professional titles when they precede a name, but not following the name.

Uppercase: You should call Mayor Jones.
Lowercase: I called John Jones, mayor of Rockville.

#10: Acronyms
An acronym is an abbreviation of a longer phrase represented by a series of letters. Acronyms should be capitalized.

Uppercase: SEO, MLM, JPEG, MLB, ATM
Lowercase: Very few exceptions because acronyms often abbreviate proper nouns.

Ultimately, the rules of capitalization include many more scenarios depending on the unique situation. In this list, we included the most crucial rules in order to ensure everybody has a grasp on the case of capitalization.

Always do your best to use correct capitalization and to avoid using capitalization when it isn’t needed.

but the default email handles that already. I don't see anything new

It will be better with android 5.0

Mostly camera,screen size,OS and memory either ROM or RAM determine the price of a tablet. What is ur budget bro.

Mention:
Kul

Yep.

what other criteria do you know for selecting best android tablet

How do you select your own tablet

Now that Android 5.0 Lollipop has been revealed – something that will be available to anyone buying a Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 very soon – details of what to expect from various updated apps are starting to leak out, including Gmail 5.0. As well as something of a new look, it seems as though the latest version of the Gmail app will be able to cope with not only Gmail accounts, but also email accounts from other providers.

A video featured on Android Police indicates that it will be possible to access emails from Yahoo Mail, Outlook.com, and other providers. Switching between accounts will be possible through the left hand menu panel, where you can currently switch between different Gmail accounts. Now, rather than selecting from a vertical list of accounts, you now swipe sideways to move between email accounts.

Gmail 5.0 borrows ideas from other apps. A floating circular button provides always-available access to the email composition window, and the circular theme continues with the Google+ style avatars. Overall, there is a more colorful look to the app and Google's video describes the new look as 'fresh'.

Purchasing an android tablet is a difficult decision for many people to make on their own because of the discrepancy between the android tablet out there, If by any chance you find yourself in this category, The below facts will help you in deciding which android tablet is the best for you.

FOR WHAT PURPOSE ARE YOU PURCHASING THE ANDROID TABLET: There are wide range of tablets available on Android platform, Which range from utility tablets for grownups to the user friendly and educative tablets for kids. The Kid's Safe Tablet is designed for kids to assist them in various educative programs involved in their curriculum. It can be used for the purpose of playing games and solving puzzles as well. Also, there are the usual bigger and smarter tablets meant for grownups. These tablets are as efficient as a full- fledged laptop.
THE SIZE OF THE TABLET:After determining the purpose of investing in an Android tablet, the next step is to decide the size of the tablet. Luckily, Android powered tablets are available in a variety of sizes. One of the most interesting as well as advantageous fact about a tablet is that it is compact in size. The sleek design and smart built of a tablet is what makes them easy to carry and look after. While it is impossible to carry a PC around and since laptops are huge in size, tablets are what come to everyone's rescue. The 7 inch tablets from Android are way cheaper than many other tablets available in the market. But if you are interested in playing games and using apps on your tablet, those 10 inch tablets are simply perfect for you. While smaller tablets are easy to carry around, bigger ones have their share of advantages as well. For instance, watching movies and playing games is something that can be conveniently achieved on a big tablet. Since Android tablets can be highly customised, bigger tablets make the whole experience more enjoyable and mesmerising for the users.
THE VERSION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM: Like iOS, various versions of the Android operating system are also available. All these versions of Android have their own set of features.It is entirely the buyer's decision that which version of Android he/ she wants in his/ her tablet. Accordingly, their tablet will be performing all the functions which are offered within the scope of that particular version of Android.there are certain applications as well as games which are unique to each version and they may/ may not be upgradable to the higher ones. Hence, every buyer should be cautious while buying a tablet with Android 2.3 or below. The reason behind this is that these versions do not support Flash.
THE MANUFACTURER:Looking at the popularity and fan following of Android tablets in the market, there are few very potentially powerful tablet manufacturers in the digital world today. The dilemma arises because each of these tablets is worth putting your hands on. Manufacturers like Sony, Google, Samsung, etc have emerged as equally powerful suppliers of Android powered tablets in the world. However, it may not be that difficult to choose between these tablets. The reason behind this is that each of these manufacturers has some additional features and may function differently as well. Hence, the only way to zero in on any Android tablet is by being sure about the features and specifications that you expect to be there in your tablet.
HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE:The cost of an Android tablet depends on the version of the Android operating system installed as well as the features offered by it. The various factors which contribute in the final price of a tablet include the operating system, features, built, design, utility as well as the size. While smaller tablets are definitely cheaper than the bigger ones, it solely depends on the user's requirements and budget.

Great i am happy for her

Recently i have been visiting some beginners blogs, Though i am still also a beginner but still better than some. I visited some because the owner asked me to review it for them and i just stumble on some domain name and i visit it. While doing this reviewing, i noticed that some bloggers lack the basic knowledge of HTML they need to publish a post because their post are not organize ( You will see their content mixed up with another sub-topic, When they try to split their tutorial into steps, you will see step 1 and step 2 on the same line or step 2 mixed with the last line of the first step etc).

I used to be a victim of this before i get a hold of a simple to understand HTML material ( which you can get for free if you want but we have got to analyse the basics here first) and i felt is my responsibility to also help those in need of that information now. HTML

It means Hyper Text Mark-Up Language, It is a document formatting language common to all computers on world wide web which permits cross platform communication between Macs, Apples, PCs and others to view a document in a similar way.

I will not go deep into HTML but will just give you what you need to format your ready to publish post ( Like starting a new sentence on a new line, or aligning text to the left, right or middle)

Fire up your Notepad, and just type anything like in the image shown below, it may be your new post or just any random text we just want to practice.

Save the notepad file [ Go to File>>Save As>>File NAme( write the name you want to save the file with and end it with .html)>>Save As type( Choose All files and hit save)>>Now head to the folder you save the file default folder is document and run it]. You will notice the content still comes together despite all the spaces we put in between, that is where our formatting knowledge is useful. DEFINITION OF HTML TAGS <p>Sentence here</p>: This is used for starting a new paragraph. <br>Sentence here</br>: This is used for starting a new line. <b>Sentence here</b>: This is used to make a sentence appear in Bold. <i>Sentence here</i>: This is used to make a sentence appear in italics. <u>Sentence here</u>: This is used underline a sentence. <center>Sentence here</center>: Used to place text or image at the center. <p align=left>Sentence or image here</align>: This is used to place your text or image at the left or change the left to "right" to align the text or image to the right. <font size=2>Sentence or paragraph here</font>: This is used to increase or decrease the size of your sentence or paragraph. Note that the two here can be "3,4,5... anything you want it to be. <ol></ol>: This means ordered list. <li></li>: This means list item. <ul></ul>: This means unordered list.
