His background is Black and Hispanic, but I swear he must have some German in him, because he even capitalizes nouns in his <b>emails</b>! But in his case it's just his personal style. He's aware, as way too many are not, that misplaced capitalization draws too much attention to the words and not enough to the message.

Is it fall or Fall? Geez! Could it be any more stupid! However, when you're talking about the season, it's not capitalized but if it's Fall Semester then you do. As for directions, I think that these should be capitalized, but no one asked me what I think. I always have to look up a few capitalization rules just to see if I've messed it up.

I work in a university environment and we talk about fall the season and the Fall semester. Why isn't fall, the season, capitalized? Is it proper to capitalize Fall the semester? I usually do because it falls into the places category as a place in time. Which leads me to directions, east, west, north and south. Part of my brain says these are a place on the map .. kinda. I know they are not capitalized but I honestly do not understand why they are not capitalized. dave A few words that drive me crazy when it comes to their capitalization rules are seasons and directions.
