Why is it incorrect to capitalize the seasons?
Capitalization is not for stressing a word or showing its importance. If you
want to emphasize a word, it's appropriate to use italics or, online, the * symbol before and after. Capitalization is for proper nouns, titles and the beginning of sentences. -- GTS "Sorrowful Maiden" wrote: i want to know why it is incorrect to capitalize the seasons. i mean what it wrong with it? isn't capitalization of a word a way to let people know that the word is being stressed? can someone please let me know what they think of it? |

GTS is right - only proper nouns are capitalized. Sometime in the distant
past the grammar gods decided that months are proper nouns but not seasons, so it's not correct to capitalize them.
