many needs a capital M sir!

Ok, since im no native speaker - care to explain why the M should be capital while the o should stay small? Beside, everything should be lower case beside the P i guess?

Capitalization Rules

Rule 8.

Always capitalize the first and last words of titles of publications regardless of their parts of speech. Capitalize other words within titles, including the short verb forms Is, Are, and Be.

Exception: Do not capitalize little words within titles such as a, an, the, but, as, if, and, or, nor, or prepositions, regardless of their length.

Examples:

1. The Day of the Jackal
2. What Color Is Your Parachute?
3. A Tale of Two Cities

This is specifically for titles of publications, but I would assume it would be the same for the title of any proper noun. Personal note ... I didn't know about the Is/Are/Be!

Nice - good to know!

Out of curiosity, what are the capitalization rules in Hungarian (in general)? In Ukrainian we only capitalize the first word ever with few exceptions such as names.

No clue - im german Lillu is hungarian.

In Germany, you capitalize alot. Names, persons, substantives, places etc. German language is nothing that you learn easily, there are so many time forms, grammar rules etc.

Same in Hungary, eventho hungarian is a very different and quite unique language. Some says that hungarian is the 2nd hardest grammar/language right after chinese. We usually have like 4-5 words corresponding to one english word, and this gives our language a very nice variety and possibilities in poetry. (unfortunately it's true for the swearing too :p) Our grammar is a nightmare. My english is just too poor to explain it all.. :p

M now capital!
