: Re: Defining Terms: To Capitalize or Not To Capitalize? Let's say that I defined a new term in my writing, such as (yes, it's second-person): You spot a Holo-Readerâ€”a long, silver metal tube

Names of things (book, chair, car, house) are not capitalized, as they are common nouns, not proper (unique) nouns.

If this is THE Holo-Reader, (the only one that exists) then yes, capitalize it. "We were going to retrieve the Holo-Reader, which had been locked behind the Gates of Time for centuries."

If it is a Holo-Reader, as opposed to some other brand of holographic reading device (Holographix, 3DBook, etc.) then yes, capitalize it.

Otherwise, no, common nouns are not capitalized.
