yesterday from an acquaintance's MSN ID i saw this: 
What is the only word that changes meaning after capitalizing its first letter?

Then i asked her if its China, china but then she said no and the answer is Polish, polish. 
When i asked her why china is not the answer 
she didnt really explain.....
since i am really bored here i decided to take sometime and dig it. 

The tool is of course every college student's best friend, GOOGLE. 
so thanks to google and yahoo. i found the answer i am looking for.

Heteronym & Homograph
Heteronym is a kind of homograph, it means one word have more than 1 meanings and pronunciation. 

example:
con'duct - to direct, to lead
'conduct - behaviour  

'record
re'cord


when a word changes meaning and pronunciation based on whether to capitalize its first letter or not, it is called heteronym too. 

August
au'gust - important

nice
Nice

including Polish/polish
and here comes the funniest one from the list!!!!!!!

magdalen - a reformed prostitute
Magdalen - a college in Oxford
