It's dumb to me that New York city is not the capital of New York state. It could have been perfect. But noooooo! They had to make it Albany!
Gotta keep the rulers as far away from the actual people as possible. Wouldn't want to have to rub shoulders with the rabble.
In 1785, the assembly of the Congress of the Confederation made New York City the national capital shortly after the war. New York was the last capital of the U.S. under the Articles of Confederation and the first capital under the Constitution of the United States.
That system message doesn't even make sense. It would be capitalized.
DC is a Capitol not a capital
Ackthually no that is incorrect https://www.masterclass.com/articles/capital-vs-capitol
Capital: The word “capital” can refer to money, uppercase letters, the death penalty, and capital cities that house a seat of government.
Capitol: The word “capitol” always refers to a physical capitol building (such as the US Capitol building) or the area surrounding it (such as Capitol Hill).
(such as Capitol Hill)
Is that related to Cypress Hill?
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.
Edit: I thought about it and came to the conclusion that "literally" doesn't mean "figuratively" but it's just an emphasiser. So it can be used in contexts where "figuratively" would work but it literally is just there to give emphasis to the statement.
