use all-caps for the first few words.

Word count guidelines
|
The
price of Community Classifieds is counted by the number of words,
not characters or lines. |
|
Count
each word, no matter how large or small. For example, "An"
counts as a word. |
|
Telephone
numbers, including area code, are one word. |
|
Postal
codes are counted as one word, not two. |
|
Street addresses are counted as two separate words, one for the number and one for the street. For example, #122-1020 Mainland St. is 2 words. |
|
City
and province are two separate words. For example: Kamloops,
B.C. is 2 words. |
|
Email
addresses are one word. |
|
Websites
are one word. |
|
Punctuation
marks do not count as words; nor does the "&"
sign. |
