Question 127 — Faculty of Philology, St. Petersburg State University

Today, once again, I stumbled upon yet another article stating that when contacting in person, I quote, "it is not allowed to write you with a capital letter." I have already read many articles that writing "You" is allowed only in official correspondence, and they say in personal correspondence, if you want to address "You", then you must write only with a small letter and nothing else.

Can you explain the rule of using the pronoun You with a capital letter and a small letter.

P.S. The question concerns exclusively addressing one person when communicating in writing (letter, Internet, etc. )

Answer

stylistic the use of uppercase and lowercase letters.

The general rule is to capitalize you and your when addressing one person politely; with lowercase - when referring to several persons.

It is an error to use a capital letter when addressing more than one person.

Modern spelling guides (for example: Rules of Russian spelling and punctuation. Complete academic reference book / Edited by V.V. Lopatin. M., 2013; Rosenthal D.E. Handbook of the Russian language. Capital or lowercase? - 7- e ed. revised and supplemented M., 2005) prescribe the spelling of pronouns You , Your with a capital letter as a form of politeness when referring to one specific person in letters, official documents, etc., for example: Congratulations to you ... ; We inform you… ; In response to your request

The pronouns You and Your are written in the same way in the texts of questionnaires, advertisements, leaflets. Such texts are addressed to one person and are intended for repeated use.

Separately, it should be said that both words are written with a capital letter in the official title: Your Majesty ; Your Highness .

Thus, you and yours are capitalized in the following cases:

  1. in personal letters where the addressee is one person;
  2. in official documents addressed to one person;
  3. in questionnaires, advertising texts, leaflets, where the addressee is one, but not a specific person.

It must be said that the opposition of the pronouns you and you in Russian is extremely significant for communication from a social point of view. Appeal to you - the result of an agreement between the interlocutors. Before such an agreement has taken place, it is customary to contact you , thereby showing a polite attitude towards the interlocutor. If we are talking about written texts, then capitalizing the pronoun You will only emphasize respect and disposition towards the addressee.
