Kavi's Big-Letter Rule
"Some words are special," said Kavi. "A name always starts with a capital letter — people like Maya and Tom, places like Bali, days like Monday, and months like July. And there is one tiny word that is always a capital, even in the middle of a sentence — the word I. Little word, big letter!"
