When typing scotty dog view, is this capitalized or not? And is it spelled scotty or scottie? Also, can you give me a reference of where you get your answer please? Thanks!

You only capitalize the proper noun portion of a dog breed. German shepherd, Labrador retriever, Chihuahua, etc. You would capitalize Scottish terrier, but not scottie. The AKC refers to "scottie."

When do you capitalize departments? I have been in the biz for 10 years, and my current QA staff is giving me conflicting feedback on my capitalization. One QA manager is giving me errors for not capitalizing, the other is giving me errors when I do! I was always taught that you didn't capitalize the department unless it was preceded by the proper name of the hospital (XYZ Hospital Emergency Department, etc). Also, as far as specialties, how do you handle those? For ...

How do you know when to capitalize departments. I've always typed emergency room, radiology, cardioliogy, dialysis. Now its Radiology, Cardiology, Dialysis, emergency room. Why isn't the ER capiltized if the others are? Also, if home health comes to a persons home to dress their wounds would home health be capitalized or if someone goes to urgent care is that capitalized? Can someone explain how I would know when to capitalize something. Otherwise I find myself losing time ...

Every once in a while my shift key doesn't take and I have a sentence started without a capital letter. Is there an way to create a macro that can go back and do that so that I don't have to either backspace out or stop and go back and correct and then carry on? I'm thinking to do a find function to go find the last period and then tell it to skip to the next letter, but I'm not entirely sure how that would go. If anyone's got any suggestions, I'd really app ...
