Like Capitalized Nouns is a term used to describe words that are written with the first letter of each word capitalized. This is often done to emphasize the importance of the word or phrase, or to make it stand out from the rest of the text. PROPER nouns, such as names of people, places, and things, are always written with the first letter capitalized. Other words may be capitalized for emphasis, such as titles, slogans, and important phrases.
