Are titles capitalized in MLA? Yes. MLA Style uses title case, which means that all principal words (nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and some conjunctions) are capitalized. This applies to titles of sources as well as the title in the heading of your paper.

According to most style guides, nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are the only words capitalized in titles of books, articles, and songs. Prepositions, articles, and conjunctions aren’t capitalized (unless they’re the first or last word).

In general, you should capitalize the first word, all nouns, all verbs (even short ones, like is), all adjectives, and all proper nouns.

Grammarly started by reaching out to academic institutions, especially western universities open to innovation. Focus heavily on quality (but don’t be a perfectionist) and listen to consumer feedback. There’s no better way to improve your product than by listening to those using it.

Grammarly leverages on a freemium service, where free users are prompted to switch to a paid subscription. Grammarly makes money by selling premium plans starting at $11.66 to $29.95 per month. The company also makes money by selling human proofreading services to its paid users.

Part of why this works is because Grammarly gates some of the more important features—style recommendations, plagiarism detection, and advanced grammar checks. By getting users to first build a habit around the free product, they can eventually nudge users to the premium version.

Grammarly’s writing app makes sure everything you type is not only correct, but also clear and easy to read. Grammarly’s algorithms flag potential issues in the text and make context-specific suggestions to help with grammar, spelling and usage, wordiness, style, punctuation, and even plagiarism.
