Upper/Lower case in titles

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I often experience a similair problem, particularily with French
titles. The problem is that people who don't speak French often write
the titles wrong. An example is Art Zoyd's Musique pour l'Odyssée.
People often write "L'odyssée" instead, which is wrong because Odyssée
is the noun and the " l' " is the same as a "la" or "le", which in turn
is the same as a "the", and therefore should be written with lower case
letters. The same principle applies to " d' ", which is the same as
"de", meaning "of" or "from".

	PFM 2006 -- Stati di immaginazione. It should be written as Immaginazione, with the initial upper case letter, since it is a noun.
