The rules for RATING details state the following:

"For English profiles, capitalize all words except joining words such as "of", "the", "a", "in", etc."

My question is, in the following 2 examples, should the underlined words be capitalized or are they considered "joining words" and should not be capitalized. I am getting contrary feedback opinions. Appreciate any clarification.

1. Strong Sexual Content including Dialogue, Violence and Language.
2. Violence, Language and some Sex-related Material

Thanks, Cuchulainn

Yep.

No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Agree on capitalizing both. I'm not 100% sure though about the second part of the hyphenated word "Sex-related." But I'd be OK either way.

I've wondered about the word "for" when it occurs a second time in a rating detail.

Example: For Language and for Some Thematic Elements.

We know the first "for" will be removed by Ken's filter. But should the second "for" be capitalized? I'd say no, and consider "for" to be a connecting word.

Agree on capitalizing.

As to the second "for", I'd be in favor of a rule modification to require removing it.
