That would be silly of you, but it would still be obvious bad grammar. Proper names get capitalized in English. It's pretty simple.
- kempbellt 8y agoBad grammar, sure. I'd argue against it being "obvious" bad grammar. In most use cases, the word person is not meant to be capitalized.
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoYou know whether you're writing a proper name or not. No one has trouble capitalizing Peg or Cat or Amber when they're people's names.
