When used as part of a name or to address someone directly, do not uppercase titles such as president, prime minister, and governor. Otherwise, in formal writing, lowercase them. In certain styles, such titles are capitalized when referring to a specific individual. For example, "The president has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize." Titles can be difficult to write because there are no standard rules on how they should be formatted. Each style guide will have its own instructions on how to format titles. The best advice is to follow the conventions set out by those styles. In English language newspapers, the title of a book, movie, or other work is usually given in caps. This is true even if the work in question does not have a cap-sensitive alphabet (such as Japanese characters). Governors' names also tend to be written with all capitals, except for the first letter of their state name. For example, "George W. Bush" but not "George Washington Bush". President's names are always written with a capital P, except when they are quoted within a sentence (e.g., "The president said..."). Titles should be written in full without abbreviations, acronyms, or symbols. An exception would be titles that are commonly used as abbreviations, such as Dr. for Doctor or Mr. for Mister.
