Capitalizing the names of specific places
I capitalized the name of a business (it is called "Purgatory") and the editor said in his/her critique that it was an unnecessary capitalization. I don't understand why that would be.
Is there another place to address questions regarding editor comments of reviews?

If you have questions regarding editor comments though, you should contact Scott about it.

That would be my guess as well. As I said, I'm not complaining in regards to the comment itself (it was only one of several errors), simply wondering if there is some standard I am unaware of in regards to capitalizing.Sarah_Khan wrote:I think it should be capitalized because it's a name of a company. Maybe the editor was reading fast and didn't realize it was a proper noun.
