Usage notes

[edit]
Main appendix:English proper nouns

In English, a proper noun is normally not preceded by an article orlimiting modifier and is normally written with an initialcapital letter. However, some proper nouns are preceded by articles (such asthe Netherlands) and some are uncapitalized (kd lang), and many common (non-proper) nouns are also capitalized, likeEuropean. Some references erroneously conflate whether a noun is common or proper with whether it is capitalized or not, although these are not the same.
