Describe your suggestion

Google is referenced (as a noun) a few times on this page, but is not capitalized. Just as credit should be given to copyright owners when their images are used, Google is a trademark and should be capitalized.

As for whether it should be capitalized when used as a verb, formal sources says yes (https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/RegisteredTrademarks/faq0001.html) but informal sources say no (https://grammarist.com/spelling/google-vs-google/).

Thank you for making this issue @oshkosher. It should definitely be capitalized. We have it capitalized almost everywhere else in the curriculum, whether it's used as a noun or a verb.

In fact, I was wondering if you'd be okay with capitalizing it in the other places I've found?

• The assignment section of the grid properties lesson
• The assignment section of the positioning grid elements lesson

Since you checked the box saying you'd like to work on this, I'll assign you. Feel free to include changes for the above two lessons in your PR as well. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @JoshDevHub, I see that the issue regarding capitalization is still open. I'd like to take care of this and capitalize it in the other places mentioned, including the assignment sections of the grid properties and positioning grid elements lessons. Please let me know if that works for you!

@swayamsharma16 Thank you for volunteering.

I'll give the original author another week or two to put in a PR, but if they end up not being able to work on it, then I'll assign it to you.

I've got a fix for this that touches six files. The PR template says the PR name must include the location of the change. Should I just say "multiple-files: capitalize Google"?

@oshkosher You can say something like Full Curriculum: Capitalize Google

Nice job finding other places to fix it! I will say to avoid fixing anything that's in archive/ -- that stuff is just there for archival purposes and it's not actively displayed on the site and we don't merge changes to it. Just letting you know in case any of your fixes are targeted there.

Yep, that's what I figured; I filtered those out.
