5. Usually the names of seasons are not capitalized.
♦ summer days
♦ fall leaves (or autumn leaves)
♦ winter activities
♦ spring fever
If a season of the year is given human qualities, it should be capitalized. Seasons may also be
capitalized if used as part of a title.
Compass points (north, east, south, and west) and derivatives of these words are not capitalized if
they are used to refer to directions or general locations.
Compass directions and derivatives of these words (Northern, Southwest, Midwest, Middle East,
and so on) are capitalized when they refer to a specific region. These words are also capitalized if
they refer to people in a region; their customs; and their cultural, political or social activities.
Also, capitalize compass directions that are part of a proper name (West Virginia, Deep South).
10. Do not capitalize the nouns footnote, line, note, page, paragraph, size, and verse when they
are followed by letters or numbers.
