What 4 things are capitalized in English but not Spanish?

Here are 4 things capitalized in English but not Spanish:

1. Days of the week: In English, we capitalize days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.), while in Spanish they are lowercase (lunes, martes, miércoles, etc.).

2. Months of the year: Similar to days, months in English are capitalized (January, February, March, etc.), while in Spanish they remain lowercase (enero, febrero, marzo, etc.).

3. Titles of people: In English, titles like Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr., etc., are capitalized when used with a person's name (Mr. Smith, Dr. Jones). In Spanish, these titles are lowercase (señor Smith, doctor Jones).

4. Some proper nouns: English capitalizes many proper nouns, including specific places (London, Paris), nationalities (American, French), languages (English, Spanish), and religions (Christianity, Islam). Spanish capitalizes these nouns less often.

Important Note: There are variations within the Spanish language. Some regions or styles may capitalize some of these items, especially when used at the beginning of a sentence. However, in general, these are the common differences between English and Spanish capitalization.
