Is the beginning word of parenthesis capitalized?

It depends! Here's a breakdown:

General Rules

* Sentences: If the text inside the parentheses is a complete sentence, the first word is capitalized.

* Not Sentences: If the text inside the parentheses is not a complete sentence, the first word is not capitalized.

Examples:

* Complete sentence: "The meeting is at 10:00 AM (Please arrive promptly)."

* Not a complete sentence: "The meeting is at 10:00 AM (in the conference room)."

Exceptions

* Proper Nouns: Proper nouns (like names of people, places, or organizations) are always capitalized, even if they are not the first word of a sentence within parentheses.

Example:

* "I met with John Smith (President of the company)."

Let me know if you have any more specific examples, and I'd be happy to help!
