 |
|
| When, if ever, do you capitalize the word math? Or does it not get a capital, such as English, because English's proper noun is England? |

In general, they're not capitalized unless they have to be capitalized anyway (e.g. English, Spanish). They are, however, capitalized if they're followed by a number because then they're considered specific names:
I'm in History I.
I'm in Geography 101.
but
I study history.
I'm in geography class. |

"..or in the case of describing the name of a proper subject - ie: English, Math, History, French, etc. Humility lesson over - no charge."
Is that true? |
