What is Proper Case?
Proper Case is a text formatting style where the first letter of every single word is Proper, with no exceptions. Unlike Title Case (which keeps small words like “a,” “the,” “and” lowercase), Proper Case treats all words equally.
Key Characteristic: Every word gets Proper, regardless of word type, length, or grammatical function.
