I thought “capital” as in uppercase letters only would refer to an uppercase letter at the start of a word.
Maybe because that’s the most common usage of capitals but concider the term “all caps”
Yeah, but I figured “all caps” was just a misnomer. “Capital” usually refers to something being the biggest or most important in a group of things.
Capital letters are the group of the biggest letters. Not necessarily within a word but in a set theory sense.
Well, considering how languages evolve, “capitol” is soon to follow the fate of “literally”.
I do find it oh so funny that literally now literally means figuratively as well as its original meaning.
So will figuratively come to mean literally? That would be figuratively funny.
