| Posted: | | | | What does the cover say?
And as far as i remember, if you go with the capitalizing rules of the language the with should be lower case (i believe) as it is neither at the beginning nor a name. |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting bbbbb: Quote: For us, but the title is Ride with the Devil on IMDb. I know you're not interested in a serious answer but here it is anyway. Unlike the German language, English has very few words that are capitalized. But a lower cap title looks odd. That's why there are title capitalization rules. Unfortunately there is not just one standard but at least four: Associated Press (AP) Style American Psychological Association (APA) style Chicago Manual of Style Modern Language Association (MLA) Style Each of them puts a different emphasis on what exactly to capitalize and what not. Some newspapers simply capitalize all letters, even "Of", some stayed with standard English spelling. Here are some old newspapers: | | | Karsten DVD Collectors Online

| Posted: | | | | Frankly, I don't want to get into this discussion again. In the rules forum, we debated on a rule change, and one of the sticking points was the word "with" The general consensus at the time was to not capitalize the word with, and with a simple majority agreement, presented a rule change to Ken. Ken acknowledged that a rule change was necessary, but did not adopt our change. He decided to go a different way, and implement a capitalization tool that is based upon "AP" style. Having a discussion about "with" at this time is a moot point.... Link to the discussion hereCharlie |

The rule is 100% clear on this point. For contribution purposes, we use what is generated by the capitalization tool. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
