 Capitalization

Capitalization or capitalisation is writing a word with its first letter as a capital letter and the remaining letters in lower case, in writing systems with a case distinction. The term also may refer to the choice of the casing applied to text.

Capitalization means using a capital letter (for example, A instead of a). The use of capital letters helps readers read your writing without confusion.
