Question

Can you name a proper noun that starts with a lowercase letter please?

Answer 1

iPhone, iPad

See explanation

Explanation:

These proper nouns have names starting with a lowercase letter. No matter where these words go in a sentence, they always stay the same spelling and capitalization as the brand named it.

Examples:

iPhones are very popular. `color(green)("[CORRECT]")`

Ipads are great for games. `color(red)("[INCORRECT]")`

There is one exception, however. If all words in a sentence are capitalized, so can the proper noun. This will usually be common in newspapers or headings.

Example:

NEW IPHONE SPARKS BUYING SPREES `color(grey)("[ACCEPTABLE]")`
