DEFINITIONS
LANGUAGE is the expression of thought by means of words.
WORDS, with respect to their _origin_, are divided into _primitive_ and _derivative_; and with respect to their _composition_, into _simple_ and _compound_.
A PRIMITIVE word is one that is not derived from another word.
A DERIVATIVE word is one that is formed from another word by means of prefixes or suffixes, or by some other change.
A SIMPLE word is one that consists of a single significant term.
A COMPOUND word is one made up of two or more simple words.
A SENTENCE is a combination of words which make complete sense.
A SYLLABLE is a word or a part of a word p.r.o.nounced by one effort of the voice.
The DIAERESIS is the mark [..] placed over the second of two adjacent vowels, to denote that they are to be p.r.o.nounced as distinct letters; as _REeCHO_.
RULES FOR THE USE OF CAPITAL LETTERS
The first word of every SENTENCE should begin with a capital.
PROPER NAMES, and words derived from them, should begin with capitals.
The first word of every LINE OF POETRY should begin with a capital.
All names of G.o.d and all t.i.tles of the DEITY, as well as all p.r.o.nouns referring to the Deity, should begin with capitals.
The words I and O should always be capitals.
