But that's how headlines work
- pests 3y agoI agree, but why didn't the original article do it? Or did they see the potential for confusion and deliberately not? When a common word is a product / brand, how do you use that word in a title without bringing up associations with that product / brand? Isn't the guidelines to submit the title as-is, no editorializing?
- dspillett 3y ago> but why didn't the original article do it? Local style guide says not to capitalise headlines, presumably. Though you are right, the general rule here is not to change headlines and that should probably apply to style as well as wording. Looking at other posts on the main list there seems to be a mix as the original styles (sentence cap, all words capitalised, all but articles, …) have been kept.
- midasuni 3y agoYou could argue that Microsoft’s claim on common words (Teams, Windows) is the problem here.
- pests 3y agoYou could, but I think that ship has sailed.
- justincormack 3y agoThe UK stopped capitalising every word in headlines back in the 1980s maybe earlier. It looks much nicer and is more readable. The bold tells you it is a geadline. US newspaper graphic design seems very retro to me.
- mmh0000 3y agoIt really depends on what style guide a news organization follows. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case
- F7F7F7 3y agoThe majority of designers I know prefer tile case. Whether it’s a printed poster or in-app UI. Look no further than “Add Comment” at the top of this page.
- nathancahill 3y agoWhat? It says "add comment"
