In this video, Linda breaks down the difference between the usage of “capital” and “capitol”. • These two terms are often confused due to their similar spelling and pronunciation. • Let’s take a closer look. • The word “capital” is used to refer to a capital letter, a city that serves as a center of government and also wealth in the form of money or property. • For example: • In American schools, the capital letter A means your work was at least 90% correct. • Tokyo is the capital of Japan. • The business did not have enough capital to buy the new building. • “Capitol” spelled with an ‘o’ on the other hand refers to the actual capitol buildings in Washington, D.C. and in each US state. • The United States Capitol building is located in Washington, D.C. • Next time, think about whether you are referring to a letter, wealth, a city or a capitol building. • That’s it for today.
