Suppose I'm going to write an article/essay with the following title:
"What To Do If You Believe Space Aliens Shot JFK"
Does the word "if" get capitalized, like above, or not?
Answer
The word if is typically capitalized in titles.
According to Wikipedia:
In English, the first word and the last word of titles should be capitalized. In addition, all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinate conjunctions should be capitalized. Articles and coordinating conjunctions are not capitalized, while sources disagree on the capitalization of prepositions.
"If" is a subordinate (also, subordinating) conjunction and as such should be capitalized.
