Is a year a proper noun ? (1968)

When it is written out the year is often capitalized.

My apologies for getting it wrong the first time.

I'll try to do better next time.

Many capitalise decades- the Seventies, but others don't. It's an unclear area. I wouldn't capitalise generally. ;-)

The consensus is (and I agree) that we don't capitalize years.
