What is proper action to do in the certain circumstance below? There is a game which is named 'osu!' and it is styled as such. However in English grammar we capitalize the first letter of a sentence so what action would be proper here? Ex: osu! is a great game. Osu! is a great game.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is there answer choices? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are none, just something that I am wondering about.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well since it is the name of the game it would be the second one because it is proper.

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

@KittyPretty is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The game styles it as osu! though.

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

it is the second ex.

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

Osu! is a great game.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain why the second one is correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True, but in English grammar we HAVE to capitalize the beginning of the sentence and we HAVE to capitalize proper nouns.

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

it has a capatial letter and correct puncuation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How come we do not follow that ruling for Greek letters with English additions? Ex: \(\Lambda\) ... \(\lambda\) ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know, good question, maybe because our generation hasn't been taught Greek letters.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the generation before that, any more questions?

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

kitty is right but were also not greek

OpenStudy (anonymous):

However I am not asking about Greek?

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

we dont use greek letters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maths and science articles do.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah because they have studied it.

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

any more questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I suppose a follow up question would be something so is stylization completely ignored? Say there is a company named: yHome We would overwrite the stylization with Yhome according to you correct? So rather than yHome is a awesome company, it would be Yhome is a awesome company?

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

yes

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

However that makes no sense (though I wouldn't be surprised), I thought stylization is kept, but noted with delimiters. What is the purpose of stylization then?

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

good question but im not sure
