<\/a><\/div>\nHappy Valentine’s Day! Some tips for punctuation and capitalization of this loving holiday:<\/span>
<\/p>\n1. In a greeting (such as a card), cap all three words<\/b>: Happy Valentine’s Day.<\/i><\/span>
<\/p>\n2. Show possession to the singular proper noun Valentine-<\/b>-the day belongs to him: Valentine’s Day.<\/i><\/span>
<\/p>\n3. Cap Day in the holiday<\/b> because it is part of the holiday’s name (as opposed to day in Christmas day in which Christmas is the name of the holiday, not day): Valentine’s Day.<\/i><\/span>
4. You can just call it Valentine when appropriate, but remember that Valentine is a singular proper noun,<\/b> so in other contexts, do not plural it before showing possession:<\/span>
a. I’m making Valentine’s cupcakes.<\/i>
b. I got a Valentine card.<\/i><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>
<\/span>
5. If you are calling cards Valentines, keep the following in mind:<\/span>
a. Still cap it–any time a proper noun element is used, it retains its capitalization<\/b>: I got a Valentine<\/i> this morning. (In this case, it is sometimes called a proper adjective–an adjective that is a proper noun in its non-descriptive states.)<\/span>
b. Just plural it with an s <\/b>(not an apostrophe s): I got some Valentines<\/i> at school today.<\/span>
<\/span>
