As discussed there are some exceptions to the rule; however, here is one general rule that you can apply for capitalizing titles. Capitalize the first, last and any important words in a title, which is known as Title Case or Headline Style.

In Titles: Do Capitalize

Generally, these parts of speech are capitalized in titles.

• Nouns (man, bus, book)
• Adjectives (angry, lovely, small)
• Verbs (run, eat, sleep)
• Adverbs (slowly, quickly, quietly)
• Pronouns (he, she, it)
• Subordinating conjunctions (as, because, that)

In Titles: Do Not Capitalize

As you have probably noticed “small’ words are generally lowercase in titles, unless they are the first or last words in a title. However, some title styles that do capitalize these words.

Generally, we do not capitalize:

• Articles: a, an, the

• Coordinating Conjunctions: and, but, or, for, nor, etc.

• Prepositions (fewer than five letters): on, at, to, from, by, etc.

When in doubt and you do not have a reference guide in front of you, here is one general rule to remember recommended by The U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual: "Capitalize all words in titles of publications and documents, except a, an, the, at, by, for, in, of, on, to, up, and, as, but, it, or, and nor."

"It is not the things we do in life that we regret on our deathbed,
it is the things we do not"

increase; grow, rise, get large, go up
decrease; decline, lessen, grow less, drop, fall, recede

A discrete "one" of something is the singular, you are talking about the "thing in itself".

Talking about anything other than "one" is talking not about the thing itself, but about an abstract number - a quantity - of that thing.

When talking about a quantity, you use the plural...I guess the logic is that "one of a thing" is just "a thing", not a quantity of the thing, and the "one of" bit is redundant "grammatical garnish", and not telling you anything.

"Two of a thing" is no longer equivalent to "a thing", it is "two things", which is a [quantity of] things.

"Half a thing" is not equivalent to "a thing" either, so again it is a [quantity of] things.

If it can't be simplified to "a thing", its plural.

The thing here is a second. 1 second = "the thing we call a second", but zero seconds, 0.5 seconds and 1.5 seconds don't = "the thing we call a second, so they are plural - they are "multiples" of a second, even if the multiplier is less than one.

Zero seconds, 0.5 seconds, 1 second, 1.5 seconds.
