...it just doesn't seem spelled right to me. I guess that it is spelled correctly. It still bugs me for some reason. Capitol. Capital. Capitol. Capital. I know. It's random. It makes no sense. It never has. My life is full of these idiosyncracies, though. Like when I have to clean up the table in a restaurant after eating, even though I know they will come clean the table as soon as we leave...or how I cannot let anyone in a house read a new book before I do....or how, er, nevermind...you get the point, right?Well, that's about it. I got visiting to do. Just wanted to let you know that I was still alive and kicking.
Also? There is a Capitol Drive downtown...it runs past the Capitol Buildings of this Capital City.

Capital for me, never seen it as Capitol hey lets just go for Cap's!
I don't like it when two people at my table order the same thing. If someone before me orders something I was planning to order, I change my mind. I don't know why. It just is.
Reunion or something? Still trying to decide where you have been...
You are wacky.
So am I.
It's cool.
I have words like that also. Sometimes I leave a Word doc open so I can test spelling before I post. Maintenance was the most recent. Or was it maintanence? Principal is another. Oh well.
cd~just a last visit home with friends and family before all my paperwork goes in to Immigration. Once it's filed, I can't leave Canada until it's done, which could take up to a year...I'm gonna be a hoser, eh?
gawilli~ I can never spell maintennence, maintenance, maintennananannce either...I have to look it up EVERY time. Why is that? But I learned early on in my High School career just exactly what the Principal was all about.
Capitol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Should not be confused with Capital.
Capitol is a term used to describe the seat of government. It is derived from the Capitoline Hill (Latin: Capitolinus Mons) in Rome, the most famous and smallest of the Seven Hills of Rome and the seat of the Roman Republic, located between the Forum and the Campus Martius (today Capitoline Hill is the seat of the mayor of Rome).
In the United States, "the Capitol" usually refers to the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., the seat of the United States Congress, the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government. Each U.S. state has a capitol, called the state capitol or statehouse. These buildings house state legislatures and sometimes the offices of the state governor or other executive offices. Territoral legislatures –such as the American Samoa Fono and Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico– have similar capitol buildings.
In politics, a capital (also called capital city or political capital — although the latter phrase has a second meaning based on an alternative sense of "capital") is the principal city or town associated with a country's government. It is almost always the city which physically encompasses the offices and meeting places of the seat of government and fixed by law.
The word capital is derived from the Latin caput meaning "head," and the related term capitol refers to the building where government business is chiefly conducted.
