Common Mistake: Lowercasing Words After a Full Stop

One common mistake that many people make is lowercase the first word after a full stop. This error often occurs when beginning a new sentence or after using a period to end a statement. It is important to remember to capitalize the first letter of each new sentence.

Why Does This Mistake Happen?

This mistake happens because we are often taught to lowercase the first word after a full stop when writing in certain styles or formats, such as in titles or headings. However, this formatting rule does not apply to regular sentences or standard writing.

Examples:

  • Mistake: i love to read books. they take me to different worlds.
  • Correction: I love to read books. They take me to different worlds.
  • Mistake: she is a talented writer. her stories are captivating.
  • Correction: She is a talented writer. Her stories are captivating.
  • Mistake: today is a beautiful day. i'm going for a walk in the park.
  • Correction: Today is a beautiful day. I'm going for a walk in the park.
