A quick vocab lesson

A capitonym is a word that changes its meaning (and sometimes pronunciation) when it is capitalized.

I LOVE LANGUAGE!  Seriously, there's a word for everything. <3

sometimes life is awesome, writing, personal note

EXAMPLES OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Mostly I just want to see what you'll come up with first.

"Spock," Jim said, trying to hide his nerves so as not to offend his lover's delicate Vulcan sensibilities, "may I have the honor of joining my mind to yours on the third of May?"

"I find your proposal most logical," Spock replied. "That should give us ample time to rest after our March march through the deserts of New Vulcan."

"Oh, I'm so gl--wait, our what?"

"Yes, the orders just came through from Starfleet Command today. Now take off your pants."

I HEART YOU SO BAD.

Really, you have no idea how much. You wrote me a random cracky drabble by way of illustration that ended with Spock telling Kirk to take off his pants. <333

I am going to insist that every example people give me take this form from now on. ALL OF THEM EVER.
