Note to Self: Capitalization and Titles of Address

[auronlu]

I recently realized that my capitalization instincts have a few glaring gaps. I tend to over-capitalize, thanks to a surfeit of Tolkien and Emily Dickinson at a young age.

While transcribing the script FFX, I finally realized I'd been screwing up capitalization (or lack thereof) of game slang. These quotes are copied right off the screen:

"Your Grace" but "your Lordship" and "my lady"?

Fffff. I wouldn't be catching that. Manual of styles can eat it. Unless I'm being paid to edit.

I'm dubious about "your Lordship," actually. I couldn't find a reliable-looking manual of style that covered "my lady", but apparently "sir" and "ma'am" aren't capitalized, so maybe words that are practically pronouns -- generic terms for male and female -- aren't capitalized, whereas words that refer to specific ranks and stations (Majesty, Grace) are, when used in direct address
