What is capitalized case?
Capitalized case, sometimes called start case, capitalizes the first letter of every single word. Unlike title case, it also capitalizes short words such as a, of and the. Letters after the first one are left as they are, so names like McDonald or iPhone keep their inner capitals.
Example
Before
john ronald smith, new york city
After
John Ronald Smith, New York City
When to use capitalized case
Use it for people’s names, city and street names, product names, menu items and table headers. For English headlines, Title Case usually looks better because it keeps short words in lowercase.
