capitalize (verb): to write the first letter of a word with a capital letter

2) for the pronoun "I"

3) the first letter of a proper noun

When I read the blog posts and comments on MyEC, I often notice people using capital letters incorrectly.

It was early for me to wake up on a holiday…It was 11.am.    my T.V was still working..I noticed ...I didn’t switch it off last night. The romantic movie which I was watching last night made me sleep early. As the hunger stared kicking in I gazed into kitchen.

After searching through the cupboards and refrigerator without any success I decided to go nearby shopping mall. I was running through the street. People seemed happy as it was a public holiday

Since I have been teaching English, I have been creating documents to help my students understand different aspects of English.  Initially I was trying to share this information using my own website http://timnew.com/esl

But formatting spreadsheets using CSS or HTML isn't always easy and can be time consuming.  Now however, there is an easier way.  Since the advent of Google documents and now Google Drive, it is getting easier to share information.

I think everyone has heard of the monster lizard named Godzilla.

What about Mozilla?                    This is Godzilla: -----==>

He's not very nice, he likes to kill people and destroy things.

Mozilla is a company that is a *non-profit, for the good of the Web.  Thousands of people *volunteer to help Mozilla turn out their free products to make the internet better and safer.

Have you heard of Firefox from Mozilla?  FIREFOX is my favorite

I've been a MyEC member for 3 years now. I have learned a lot from this site and I've made many many wonderful friends here. I've always considered myself lucky because I found this place to improve my English. Here I befriended with so many nice people from across the globe.
