Geoff said: <<If it's not being used as a proper noun, then there's no
justification for capping it other than in a heading style that uses
initial caps. That's the standard English spelling rule, and like all
grammatical
rules, you should only break it if you have a good reason to do so.>>
We had a similar debate this morning regarding a term we use here: Digeo
portal. The debate is whether to capitalize portal. I've been editing it
as capitalized, considering it a brand name or trademark, but I'd like
to know what you think.
If this term turns out to not be a legal brand name or trademark, how
would you classify it? As a proper noun, or a common noun?
