Undercapitalise

Anyone that takes an interest in writing and language will tell you that the misuse of capital letters causes them all sorts of angst! The rules for capital letters are simple: Use them at the beginning of a sentence and for a proper noun or name (the names of specific people, places and organisations)—and that’s it. Don’t use a capital letter to emphasise the importance of something—use an underline or a bold typeface if you have to. An example that is often incorrect relates to councils:

Redland City Council…the city council…the council…council chambers, council meetings and council pound.
