Maybe the Title Rule does not use the most appropriate words, but I think its meaning is pretty clear. Comparing the Rule with the examples provided and with the usual rules of title capitalization in English (BTW, how do you like this tool for converting any text to title capitalization?), it can be understood that by "joining words" the Title Rule means not just conjuctions, but includes articles (the, a, an) and prepositions (of, in, etc.), while nouns, adjectives, pronouns, verbs and adverbs (and the first and last words) have to be capitalized. Yes, it can be understood that way. The problem is, it isn't understood that way by everybody...as this thread demonstrates. The problem with the term 'joining words' is that it refers to a specific type of word and function. 'Article' is the proper term and it should be used so that there are no other interpretations. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
