What Is “Fine Print”?

Friday, February 6, 2026

 




Have you ever seen very small words at the bottom of a page or on a contract? Those tiny words are called fine print.

Fine print is extra information that explains rules, limits, or conditions. Companies often use fine print in advertisements, tickets, and agreements. The letters are small, so many people do not read them carefully.

For example, an advertisement might say: “Free phone!” But the fine print could say: “with a two-year contract.” The important details are in the fine print.

Fine print is not always bad, but it is very important. It can tell you about extra costs, deadlines, or special requirements.

The lesson is simple:

Always read the fine print before you agree to anything!







Calendars and Capital Letters

Friday, February 3, 2012

We all follow the same calendar to arrange our daily lives. Some countries, however, don't capitalize months or days when written but it's mandatory in written English. Always capitalize days of the week and months of the year when you write in English.

Also, Sunday (not Monday) is the first day of the week. The week begins on Sunday.

Knowing these small, simple rules will make you more credible as you use the language. You can do it!

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday

January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
