Nonce words are words that are created to suit one specific occasion. The phrase “for the nonce” means “for the occasion.”
Most nonce words don’t catch on and are used very rarely or singularly. However, some nonce words become part of everyday vernacular. For example, Lewis Carroll created the word, “chortle” meaning to chuckle and snort. This word eventually became accepted as a legitimate word.
“Judge” is only capitalized when it is used preceding the name of a judge or when it is used in the context of direct address.
EXAMPLES:
Did you hear the judge say we can take a recess?
May we take a recess, Judge?
Did Judge Jones say we can take a recess?
The word “court” is capitalized when it refers to the judge who is presiding over a case, or when it is used to refer to the citing of a superior court.
EXAMPLES:
The Supreme Court overturned the case.
The Court will make a decision today.
May it please the Court to grant us a recess.
He had to go to court.
The rule for preceding an acronym with “a” or “an” is similar to the rule for preceding a word with “a” or “an.”
If the first letter for an acronym makes a vowel sound, you would precede the acronym with “an.” Consonants that create a vowel sound include: f, h, l, m, n, r. s, and x.
It should also be noted that if a vowel letter that begins an acronym has a consonant sound, you should precede it with “a.” For example, “a U-turn.”
