Dear Diary; I've Committed a Capital Offense

Capital letters: loved by some, abused by many, and feared by writers who just can’t seem to remember the rules. Dear Diary: I’ve Committed a Capital Offense takes you on a witty, diary-style romp through the world of capitalization – where headlines shout, seasons get uppity, and job titles demand respect they may not deserve.

This isn’t your dusty old grammar manual. With a mix of sass, storytelling, and solid editorial know-how, Saoirse Temple guides you through the tricky terrain of proper nouns, titles, acronyms, and everything in between. Along the way, you’ll laugh, groan, and maybe even start looking at capital letters in a whole new way.

Perfect for writers, students, editors, or anyone who’s ever agonized over whether “internet” still deserves a capital “I,” this book delivers both clarity and comedy. By the end, you’ll not only survive the capital crimes of English grammar – you’ll conquer them with style.

Part of the Dear Diary Style Files series, I’ve Committed a Capital Offense proves that learning about language doesn’t have to be boring. It can be downright entertaining.
