1. Penggunaan Huruf Besar (Capitalization)
Kadang2 penggunaan huruf besar dlm BI agak mengelirukan. Wbp, kekeliruan/kesalahan yang biasa dilakukan ialah dalam penggunaan adjectives, nouns dan nama2 sesuatu bahasa.
Mungkin TIPS ini boleh membantu untuk mengelakkan kekeliruan :
• Capitalize 'I'
• Capitalize nations, national nouns and adjectives - French,
Russian, English, Italy, Canadian, etc.
• Capitalize the first letter of the first word in a new sentence
or question
• Do NOT capitalize common nouns. Nouns are only capitalized
if they are the name of something
• Capitalize proper names of people, institutions, festivals, etc.
Ini adalah contoh utk tips 4 & 5 :
I go to university. (common noun -> university)
BUT
I go to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. (noun used as proper name)
