The key item I’ve been working on this morning, in checking for consistency, is the capitalisation of the four compass directions. Should they be capitalised? No, unless they’re being used as proper nouns, as in Easterly Street. I was obviously unsure about this when writing the first draft, as I was over the place on capitalisation.
So, you’d think it would be a fairly easy job to run a ctrl-f search for those four terms and check and change them if necessary, right? Well, for north, south and west, it is, but the word ‘east’ appears in ‘least’, amongst others and, it transpires, I use the term, ‘at least,’ rather a lot.
So, it’s taken some time. And raised another query, about frequency of terms.
