Hi gang,
A couple of quick ones. Example below:
“This doesn’t concern you, buddy!” the stranger hissed back.
OR
“This doesn’t concern you, buddy!” The stranger hissed back.
Notice the "The"
AND
"Is that your father?" she asked.
OR
"Is that your father?" She asked.
I can't find my copy of CMS, but sure could use a reference to it. Which one is correct?
Second one...
Here comes uncle Bob. The used car salesman.
OR
Here come Uncle Bob. The used care salesman.
Does one capitalize 'uncle' ? In this example, no one is saying that uncle bob is their uncle. But here someone is.
"My Uncle Bob sells used cars."
?
Thanks,
RWS
