Talk:Less than Hero

Should this page be titled Less than Hero, as it is now, or Less Than Hero (note the capital T in Than)? The only reason it is an issue is that some pages link to one and some to the other (than vs. Than). The lower case t one seems to be the most used, but which one is correct? - ClonedWizard 01:28, 17 July 2006 (PDT)


 * Nice catch. than is a preposition, which are often not capitalized, but I'm not certain. I'll check the DVD cases later if nobody beats me to it.


 * One problem with that Gopher, the DVD boxes spell the whole thing in capitals. But I'd say lowercase. - Quolnok 07:41, 17 July 2006 (PDT)


 * :blinks: and so they are! Ah well, we need a grammar nazi then. Gopher 08:11, 17 July 2006 (PDT)


 * dictionary.com says that "than" is either a conjunction or a preposition. I searched Google for "capitalizing titles" and found this which references The Chicago Manual of Style.  Apparently, if "than" is a subordinate conjuction, it should be capitalized.  However, if it is a coordinate conjunction, it should be lowercased.  Since dictionary.com did not specify what type of conjunction "than" was, I did some more searching.  Here "than" is listed as a a subordinating conjunction (further up on the page there is a more indepth coverage of "than").  So, if my sources are credible, we need to decide whether (in this instance) "than" is a subordinating conjunction or a preposition to decide whether it should be capitalized or not.  That's where I get confused.  I'm not sure how "than" is being used in this case. - ClonedWizard 15:54, 17 July 2006 (PDT)
