If this were actually a thing, you wouldn't need to capitalize the the G in grammar.

Good question actually, had to look it up.

> Except for languages, such as English, French and Japanese, the names of academic disciplines, majors, minors, programs and courses of study are not proper nouns and should not be capitalized. Example: She majored in integrated supply management and German.
