Use Capitals Where Appropriate

The Plain English Campaign advises against capital letters unless they are really necessary. Only use capitals:

at the beginning of a sentence
for a proper noun or name (for example, Bracknell Forest Borough Council)
a person's job title when you refer to him/her in particular (Chief Executive, Timothy Wheadon)

But don’t use capitals when you refer generally to people doing that job. For example, 'At a meeting of council chief executives…'

Do not use all capitals for titles or areas of text. Text in all capitals is difficult to read.

For titles of reports, books or films use capitals and do not use inverted commas, for example, 'Please ring our contact centre and ask for a Special Educational Needs Manual'.

The following words should not have capitals: council, councillors, members, north, south, east, west, spring, summer, autumn, winter, the new year, local authorities, local education authority (although if you abbreviate it put LEA).
