Do you know what CAPITONYMS are?


Capitonyms are words which are spelt the same but have different meaning when one is capitalised:


For example: polish and Polish – “one being to rub something using a piece of cloth or brush to clean and make it shine” (Cambridge Dictionary): the other is a native of the native of Poland.


Also reading and Reading - one being “the act or skill of getting information from books” (Cambridge Dictionary). The other (for those familiar with English Geography and English football!) is a large town in South East England.


Try also:

august & August/ turkey & Turkey / earth / Earth, and for English scholars amongst us, hamlet / Hamlet
