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.
