So...I'm a serial Captitalizer...I have a problem.
There are lots and lots of titles floating around my tale. A lot of the Queen this, and the Captain that. Many of my titles are made up. As I write these, I just capitalize them all, it looks right and better that way to me, but a grammar nazi would say, you don't capitalize Queen, unless it before the her proper name, like 'Queen Mary spoke for the foreign queen when she said, "Queen Isabella would like some tea."'
For well known titles, I suppose there are rules, but for made up ones, well...they seem less mundane and should get a capital. I note that in Star Wars, the terms Jedi, Sith, Force and Padawan, are always capitalized. Jedi, is, of course, a made up title.
So who here is a grammar enthusiast enough to set me straight on what's capitalized and what's not?
