- pavlov 2y agoYet "TURKEY" is not a separate word from "Turkey" and "turkey". Ultimately context disambiguates these words, not capitalization.
- justincormack 2y agoAnd “polish” and “Polish” are not even pronounced the same.
- scosman 2y agoThey might be at the beginning of a sentence (depends on the reason for capitalization). It’s more like identifier reuse, on a case insensitive “system”. “John” isn’t the same as “John” if I’m talking about two separate Johns.
