But most modern Style Manuals do seem to prefer capitalisation of the first word only. I wonder whether the internet is having an effect on this? Also the diminishment of the role of sub-editor...they were traditionally the ones who policed the house style, but they are few and far between now. Here in Australia, sub-editing is a dying profession. I might start watching for this; see whether a common usage is arising in the digital wild, so to speak. | |
