What are the bold words called? Is it a pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb??


What are the bold words called? <--is this question correct? why?
or should it be:
What are the bolded words called?
1. preposition
2. article (definite)
3. infinitive particle

These are words not commonly capitalized in titles.

I think we can add conjunctions to the list.
e.g. and, as in Pride and Prejudice

For this reason, I'd say there is a mistake in Jack's last example because the word "and" is capitalized.

Say: words in bold, words in bold type/print, words in boldface

The adjective can be boldface or boldfaced, but not bolded.
