RE: Can style trump grammar rules?

["Janoff, Steven" <Steven -dot- Janoff -at- ga -dot- com>]

Would have to see it in context.

If it's a marketing piece, maybe.  If it's a tech pubs piece, probably not.

PS - What is an "intro splash"?  Is this some sort of screen in a video, or are you talking about a print/online doc?

Good day all,

This seems like a noob question but I have honestly never faced this 'dilemma' until now.

I am using a intro splash where I include bulleted highlights of the chapter's content. The text style is entirely lower case. This looked great until I arrived at a chapter where the bulleted text  includes proper nouns and names.

Is it acceptable to maintain consistency of style, while breaking English grammar rules?

Thanks,
