To join or leave this LISTSERV list, please visit the list's web interface at: http://listserv.muohio.edu/archives/ateg.html and select "Join or leave the list"I have been asked whether the first letter following a colon should be capitalized. My response wasthat if the clause preceding the colon clearly introduces a multi-sentence response then the first letter ofthe first sentence following the colon should be capitalized. In other cases, even if the words followingthe colon constitute an independent clause, the first letter need not be capitalized.
I'd appreciate better ways to respond to this student's question.
