Hi everyone,

I've just read some articles about the difference between Isle and Island. I  understood they're practically the same even if they're not interchangeably when they're part of a proper name (the Isle of Man can't be the "island of Man").

I didn't understand well the capitalization in the case of island. For example, if I refer to the island of Cyprus or the island of Malta should I use the Capital letter or not? I don't think so because I can simply speak of "Cyprus" or "Malta". 

Could you explain me this topic, please?
