1. Proper names of institutions and departments should be capitalized:

   1. I applied to the University of Tampere (not "for Translation", or "for the University...").
   2. My brother also applied to Tampere University to study English Translation.
      (x) The next year I got in to the department of English translation in Tampere university.
   3. We applied for admission to the Department of Translation Studies.
   4. My major (subject) is English Translation and my minor (subject) is German Translation.
   5. Previously I had studied at the universities of Joensuu and Oulu.
   6. Previously I had studied at Joensuu University and Oulu University.
   7. I'd always thought I would be going to a university. I wanted to work with something involving English translation.
   8. I took Economics and Women's Studies as minor subjects. After five years I did not want to return to my economics studies. I did not want to return to the Economics Department.
   9. My major is English Translation. I study in the English Section of the Department of Translation Studies, which is part of the School of Modern Languages and Translation Studies of the Faculty of the Humanities of the University of Tampere.

2. Capitalize all academic degrees following the name, whether abbreviated or written out (Litt.D., Ph.D., J.D., LL.D, Master of Arts). When writing more than one degree after a name, arrange according to their importance with the most important last; when they are of the same rank, as various doctoral degrees, according to the time of their being granted.

3. Capitalize all academic and religious titles, such as Doctor, Professor, Dean, when preceding a person's name. Do not capitalize the following when they stand alone (i.e. without a person's name): judge, justice, principal, professor, superintendent, cantor, elder, minister (of religion), pastor, priest, rabbi, rector, attaché, consult, consult general

4. Abbreviations and acronyms are capitalized differently depending on their length. If the abbreviation is up to three letters long, it stays in caps (eg RCA for Royal College of Art; VAT for Value Added Tax). If the word is four or more letters long, you have to know whether it is pronounced as a word or as separate letters. If it's a word (ie an acronym or pseudo-acronym) then it gets lower-cased (Cobol, Unicef, etc). If the letters are pronounced separately they stay in caps (PCMCIA, NAACP).

5. However, SCSI and WYSIWYG stay in caps even though they are pronounced by the people who use the words as "scuzzy" and "wizzywig"). DRAM is correct because the pronounciation is dee-ram, not "dram."
