Upper case letters are known as Capitalization. The English language, when put in written form, consists of two forms of letters, i.e., upper case letters and lower case letters. When writing words down, there are pretty specific rules that must be applied to know when to use and when not to use Capitalization.

Although you should already be pretty familiar with the rules, let’s go over them quickly here as a refresher.
Capitalization rules:
- The first letter of every sentence must be capitalized.
- Proper names of persons, places, things, days, and months (such as September).
- Titles of distinction (such as Admiral or Captain).
- The letters “I” and “O” when used by themselves.
- Words of nationality (such as German, Dutch, Australian).
- The first words and last words of titles of publications (such as The Grapes of Wrath).
- Points of a compass (such as East, West, North, South, Southeast, etc.) when they refer to a specific region rather than a direct such as – “They traveled toward the west.” (No capitalization.) “They traveled to the West Coast.” (A region so it is capitalized.)
