@grammarslammer: Replying to @leighs_stuff Why do we capitalise Dad sometimes? It's all about common and proper nouns. #noun #nouns #commonnoun #propernoun #grammarlesson #goodgrammar #englishteacher #grammarteacher #Englishgrammar #grammar
If brother or sister was used as a proper noun would then we need a capital letter if we said “Brother, guess what happened the other day!”

My siblings and I call each other Brother or Sister sometimes, but that’s just us being silly. I do capitalize them then

So, to simplify, "Dad" is like his name, but "my brother" is what he is. "My dad" can also be what he is, but "Brother" is generally never used as a name. Is that right?

Do I need to use a proper noun if I omit "my"? I.e. is "Every night, dad..." OK?

I do the capitalisation a lot on Twitter to cut down use of 'the'. Do you think it makes sense?
