6 Reasons Text Capitalization is Important

With your phone’s autocorrect feature, your WeChat conversations can go one of two ways. One, you might avoid making silly tpyos (aka typos) when chatting with your friends. Or two, you might make an error that completely changes the meaning of the text. We’ve all been there, done that.

 

But did you know that capitalization matters too? Check out 6 words that have completely different meanings when you capitalize the first letter.

WeChat-Capitonyms-Turkey

Definitely not the same, but you might find a turkey roaming around in Turkey.

WeChat-Capitonym-Earth Without earth, we wouldn’t be able to survive on Earth. Yay for Earth and earth!

WeChat-Capitonym-Jack

It’s no mystery that jacks can lift up cars, but we’d be pretty impressed if our friend Jack picked up a car.

WeChat-Capitonyms-China

China has some of the finest china we’ve ever seen.WeChat-Capitonym-March

March isn’t the best time to march through the city. It can get pretty rainy.

WeChat-Capitonym-Mercury

At this point, we probably wouldn’t be able to survive if we lived on planet Mercury or if we ate mercury.

 

And there you have it. Next time you’re WeChatting, be sure to avoid capitalizing words incorrectly!
