Guilty of Pet Peeve

[CajunCenturion]

In another thread I posted the following:

The only odd thing I see is in the question:
"Or if they said to give you a phone?"
It is one thing to interchange call and phone as verbs, but quite another matter to try and interchange phone and call as a noun.

In doing so, I committed one of my own pet peeves. Can anyone guess what it is?

Good Luck

CajunCenturion,

Does your post contain proper capitalization?

"Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death"

If I remember correctly, one should capitalize major words, major meaning the first word, the last word, and everything in between except articles, conjunctions, and prepositions. In this case I do not believe the preposition "of" should be capitalized.

Please, correct me if I am wrong.

Well first of all, 'or' is not a preposition, it is a conjunction.

I will acquiesce that point, thank you for the clarification. Notice I used "of" in my description. A simple faux pas.

What are your thoughts about my key point?

I copied the quote directly off a web-page. If you would like to start a thread on the rule of capitalization, that would be quite welcome.
