Capitalization

[Quyen]

Sometimes it seems obvious; other times it's not. Please post cap/no-cap questions here.

I'll start ...

[Quyen]

I would not.

thank you!  what if it's marked as an exhibit like Exhibit 1, Performance Review?

[Quyen]

If the words "Performance Review" is on the document as an actual title, I would, but I put document titles in quotes. Otherwise, still no.

[gemini35]

even if the title comes up a lot throughout the transcript?  e.g., "the performance review state on no. 1..."  would you put it as the "Performance Review" each and every time it comes up?

[Quyen]

I would not cap it even if it came up a million times. I would cap if he said, "Let's mark, as Exhibit 1, a document (en)titled 'Performance Review.'"

He's referring to it in a general sense. What else would he call it?

It's a style preference. You can choose to cap or not.

sorry i should have been clear.  i meant if the document is titled Peformance Review would you cap and put quotes around it each and every timeit comes up?

and i think  the confusion is why capitalize a generic form when it's used universally by so many different companies and agencies, like a police department has a "incident report" form and so may a school.  but the thing is the title is actually on the form as "incident report"

and thank you so much!!!!

[gemini35]

thank you, that's what i was thinking. because these are all generic fillable forms, like "performance review" "Incident report" "history form"
