When using new world in a papar which way is correct?
New World or new world

English - Ms. Sue, Sunday, January 30, 2011 at 9:41pm
If "New World" refers to the Americas, it's used as a proper noun and capitalized.

If new world is not specific, then it's a common noun.

Examples:

European explorers flocked to the New World in the 16th century.

Understanding computers helps us advance to the new world of technology.
