<snip>

These are the questions. I am editing a memoir. For 70 pages the words
"mother" and "father" are in upper case, and then suddenly on page 75,
chapter 10, they are lower case. And this is in the middle of sentences.
Now, my intuitive editor in my brain says lower case always for mother
and father, not "My Mother said..." or "My Father's thumb..." What is
the convention? Where do I find the convention when editing? What book
would have it?
