Posted on Thursday, August 6, 2009 in Capitalization
When to capitalize family names such as, Grandma, Grandpa, Mother, Father, Uncle.
Capitalize grandpa when it substitutes for the real name:
Let’s go to Grandpa’s farm today.
Capitalize grandpa when followed by a name:
Let’s go see Grandpa Bill.
Do not capitalize grandpa when it could refer to anyone:
There are many grandpas at the retirement home.
Do not capitalize grandpa when preceded by a pronoun:
I will go see my grandpa today.
