That's funny.  I went back and forth a few times on capitAl vs capitOl.  I still don't which is correct for capit?l punishment.

Then, I realized that my thread title is correct either way.  Carry on my pedantic son.

And if you made the main state legislative building out of big letters what would it be called?

Morse code is usually all capitel letters.  Must be insulting and scary to everybody.
