Someone posed this word puzzle to me a while ago & it actually stumped me for a while: What word in the English language completely changes it's meaning simply by Capitalizing the first letter? Not sure if there is more than one...I was only able to come up with one. |

dytunck wins! Very nice. Dave---hmm, interesting. I suppose that works, although I think the puzzle also stipulated that the meaning and pronunciation changes. |

The recent Johns Hopkins Magazine had its monthly word games column on this subject. Several that changed pronunciation, such as Dieter (German man's name)/dieter. |
