Common and Proper Nouns
The names of particular persons, places, and things are proper nouns.
Capitalize the first word and each important word of a proper noun. An
appositive is a word or phrase put next to a noun to describe it.
Appositives may contain proper nouns: Della, my German shepherd, is
smart. The Union Pacific Railroad Company was run by Dr. Thomas C.
Durant.
All other nouns, including collective nouns such as class and herd, are
common nouns. They are not capitalized. The railroad companies of
the 1800s used the labor crews of many men.
Capitalize the first word and all important words in a title. The
Transcontinental Railroad: Tracks Across America Capitalize days of the
week and months of the year. The crews worked feverishly that
Monday in April.
Capitalize the names of organizations. The National Railroad Museum

noun. Abbreviations often occur in addresses, titles and initials in
names, and names of days and months. Most abbreviations end with a
period. Lin wrote: “Send my Sept. wages to 203 Shore St., Los Angeles,
CA 90048.”
