> It’s not a proper noun The President, within this context, identifies a single entity. As such, it is a proper noun. Analogy: there are many continents. But if we're discussing Brexit, the Continent is a proper noun. I don't think it's incorrect to not capitalise. But it's certainly gramatically okay, and not in the same bucket as The Nutters who capitalise Random words it Looks like Legalese.

  > no. You're just making things ...this isn't a counterargument. I can similarly assert you're justing making stuff up, which isn't untrue, either way, since we're talking about language, a wholly made-up enterprise. What's your contention that the President, within the context of the American presidency, does not refer to a single entity? Is this a preference? Or something you actually believe is incorrect?

    You got the impression I was trying to argue with you? Go look it up like the president doesn't. I'm personally not a recognized grammar authority.
