Description
Most title case sources suggest capitalizing words over 4 letters, including conjunctions ([APA](https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/capitalization/title-case#:~:text=Lowercase%20only%20minor%20words%20that,an%2C%E2%80%9D%20%E2%80%9Cthe%E2%80%9D), [Chicago](https://titlecaseconverter.com/blog/cmos-18-changes/#:~:text=2.%20Capitalization%20of,are%20now%20capitalized.), [MLA](https://midland.libguides.com/c.php?g=1280402&p=9399181#:~:text=Subordinating%20conjunctions%20(for%20example%2C%C2%A0as%2C%C2%A0because%2C%C2%A0if))). So the list of small words in title case should not include "because", "without", "neither".
"Some" is a pronoun, adjective or adverb ([Merriem-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/some)) so it also shouldn't be included.
