CAPITALISATION

When spelling a word for someone it is sometimes necessary to let the person know when letters need
to be written in CAPITALS and when they need to be written small. There's a guide to capitalisation here.

"How do you spell UNESCO please?" "Capital U-N-E-S-C-O."

"How do you spell T-Online please?" "Capital T dash capital O small n-l-i-n-e."

"How do you spell 1&1 Profi please?" "The number one then an ampersand another one, followed by
capital P small r-o-f-i."
