And now I write:
The point escapes me, although I'm sure JL Speranza can clear it up. Words like
'major,' 'general,' 'president,' etc., are capitalized when they are part of
one's title or rank (Major Paul, General Panic) but otherwise not: 'Bush is
president,' but 'President Bush.' At least that is what the Mutton College
Stylebook says. But perhaps this is just Welsh Humour--?
