Even after all these years, I still mix up CAPITOL and CAPITAL.
That's it. Where are we supposed to lodge our etymological complaints?

Just remember that there's no such thing as "capitolism" unless you're into the study of Sacramento oe Albany...
Quick: name any states where the capitol is also the principal city of that state as well...
And no self-respecting Marxist would ever think of selling you a copy of "Das Kapitol" unless they were home-schooled by Maoist rubes!
