Hello there,

before posting this thread I searched the forums about this, but I couldn't find an answer to my questions, and if I've missed it somewhere, then I deeply apologise for creating a duplicated thread.

Anyway onto my question..

I've been trying to find out when the nakaguro interpunct comes into play. I've seen it being used in foreign names (ex. Marie Curie --> マリ・キュリー ), objects (ex. Personal Computer --> パーソナル・コンピュータ ), but there've been instances where the interpunct has been omitted (ex. Cowboy Bebop --> カウボーイビバップ). Is it wrong if I'd have it as カウボーイ・ビバップ ?
I'm kind of confused. When is it appropriate to use it and when not? And what is said interpunct's importance level?
