The Difference with Capitolization is...

OK- I have been told that a new blog is NEEDED. The pressure is a lot for me ...I am not sure I can take it!

I really don't have much for you all this week. I am sorry to disappoint!

So, I will default to an office cube conversation. ..

A fellow co-worker of mine and I were discussing how a simple capitalization of a single letter can make a difference, a night & day difference, in a written phrase! The meaning of an entire sentence can be changed by one measly letter – the dependence on capitalization to meaning…crazy!

Just to show you all what I mean, take a look at these two sentences:

(1) “I helped my uncle jack off a horse”

The difference with the Capitalization is:

(2) “I helped my uncle Jack off a horse”.

SEE?!?!!? Very important to have grammar correct in certain situations!

Awe, the wonder of the English language!


Go ahead...Discuss.
