AP Style

Four AP style rules:
1. heavenly bodies: Capitalize the proper names of planets, stars, constellation, but moon and sun aren't capitalized.

2. island: Capitalize island or islands as part of a proper name; lowercase island and islands when they stand alone.

3. mix up (v.) mix-up (n. and adj.)

4. side by side, side-by-side: They walked side by side. The stories received side-by-side display.
