OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

cousin is not a proper noun

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

hello ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks just wanted to make sure cause it has the cousins name right after it so it confused me

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

good, so you know the answer, but I will go ahead and post something anyway

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait what about Aunt Lee ? in D

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I didn't read D, that is also incorrect

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

just like 'brother' should not be capitalized

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it would be C

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

(basically)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Jamaican is a proper noun

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I mean Jamaica is a proper noun, and the adjective that comes from it should also be capitalized.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ight thanks Solo ill tag you when I need ya

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{black}{ \rm This ~ \color{green}{ \rm Boston }~cream~pie ~is the~ best~ dessert ~I've~ ever~ had. }\) \(\normalsize\color{green}{ ~~~~~~ {\bf \Uparrow}~ \\ \color{green}{ \rm proper ~noun } }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

And "I" should also, obviously be capitalized
