Capitalistic Heteronymology…
capitonym: A word that changes in both meaning and pronunciation when it is capitalized — such as polish/Polish, august/August, job/Job, and lima/Lima. It’s a form of heteronym — a word that is spelled the same as another but has a different pronunciation and meaning (such as minute, which, based on pronunciation, can mean either tiny or one-sixtieth of an hour).
