    He's right. For instance, if one were to start a sentence....."iPhones have the best camera quality...", it would be correct.

    Then I stand corrected but thought APA preference was always cap. My bad.

    I capitalize Tiga when used alone. It’s my name...:D

    APA and MLA rules probably always were that but names starting with lower case like I used are sorta newer"ish". CamelCase is another new rule that has been adopted.

    Yeah well, to begin with, anyone who doesn’t capitalize the first letter in his name shouldn’t be running around being a grammar nazis. lol

    It's a forum handle, not a name really and last I checked nobody is getting graded on their posts.

    If so, I'm fairly certain I would be on permanent academic probation, lol.

    Well to be fair iPhone is a name so the standard is to follow the spelling. For instance ee cummings name was always written/printed in lower case. Otherwise the first letter of a sentence is capitalized.
