Turkey Day 👍 Thanksgiving Weekend 👎
You probably see the capitalization of Random Words (see what we did there?) fairly often in casual writing. This is somewhat understandable, partly because the mistake is so common. Also, it's sometimes hard to know whether something is a proper noun. So with Thanksgiving on the horizon, here are some quick holiday capitalization tips.
And in case you’re wondering, you capitalize “Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade,” but you don't capitalize “parade” on its own, even in reference to that very parade: “They were watching the parade while preparing Thanksgiving dinner.”

Most of you picked "octopi," and exactly zero people chose "octopodes": No one got it wrong, and even if someone...
Today is the longest day of the year, and we can't write much more about it without revealing the answer to last week's quiz, so let's get right to it. The quiz was part vocabulary, part capitalization. We asked you to fill in the blank in this sentence: "They’re planning a party on the _______ to mark the longest day of the year." First, you had to recognize that the event marking the start of both summer and winter is a solstice, not an equinox, which marks the start of spring and fall....
Happy Friday...the 13th. Most of you got the right answer on last week's quiz. Just as you spell out one through nine and use numerals for 10 and higher, you do the same for ordinals. So this month we have Friday the 13th, and next month we'll have July Fourth. You got a peek at our Google Docs extension last week, and this week we're excited to share another great review: "Style Guide Checker is a great product that provides a second set of eyes to catch things that often go overlooked.
