** Godforsaken **

There is no definitive rule for capitalisation of Godforsaken*; and when there is no rule, we use our rules. It is up to the writer’s belief that if he thinks there is only one supreme God.*

In this context, however, the reference to God is rather casual, and there are those who would deny that such phrases refer to the one supreme God at all. Lowercasing God in such phrases is an attempt to obscure the reference to God.

No stylebook clarifies the capitalisation rule for Godforsaken. Even CMOS allows you to write both ways. Here we come up with our own beliefs.

I think, you assumed that I was ignorant of the importance of capitalisation.

P.S. Writers sometimes do fragments deliberately according to the demand of the context, and you cannot say that the writer made an error. Now don’t tell me you pointed out some fragment sentences to any author.

Let’s play a game?

You only have to write two simple sentences (scenes) in English. As I cannot explain you a scene, I’m going to write it for you in Urdu.

***Very simple: ***

1- Akbar office mein kursi par betha kaam kar raha tha. Sania dinning table k peechay kursi pr bethi Akbar k baray mein soch rahi thi.

2- Aftaab dheray dheray siRhiyan utar raha tha.

I am not a writer so I am not going to try. Plus I am too lazy to do that.

But I found a spelling error. Please see the word in bold and underline.
The correct word is ‘dining’.

‘Godforsaken’, I understand is debatable on various grounds.
That was not the bigger issue.
But the grammar error was more egregious and unacceptable.

Besides, if you are more comfortable in Urdu, maybe you should write your books in Urdu and then have them translated in different languages like Sindhi and English by other people, like Muqawwee123.
