It's been a while, faithful readers. A long while.
Amidst the craziness of Christmas shopping, studying for exams, working, and playing Dynasty Warriors on PS2 (yeah, you read that right), I have found time to update you on an important discovery that I have made.
I learned a new word today.
Did you know that, in addition to synonyms and antonyms, there are.. capitonyms?
capitonym: a word that changes its meaning (and sometimes pronunciation) when it is capitalized.
Yeah, I know. Whaaat?!
Some examples:
Nice (in France) and nice (pleasant)
Polish (from Poland) and polish (to make a surface shine)
March (the month) and march (to walk to a rhythm)
Job (from the Bible) and job (an occupation)
Awesome, isn't it?
