I promised not to direct Comments to Allegra for very obvious reasons! LOL

Helpful reference: ‘Capitol’ or ‘Capital’?

Clearing up their confusion is a capital idea.

When one is presented with a pair of words that are similar in appearance, the chance for confusion is always high. In many cases the risk of mixing the words up is lessened if they have semantic differences, as is the case with assent and ascent. The former may be a verb (meaning “to agree”) or a noun (“an act of agreeing”), while the latter is only found as a noun, and has meanings such as “climb,” “an upward slope,” and “progress.”

Things get a bit trickier when there is overlap between similar words, which is why so many people find themselves flummoxed by capitol and capital. Both words are often used in reference to government, and the physical location of one of these is typically found within the other, so this confusion is understandable. We are happy to report that there is a simple way of telling them apart.

We all agree that you were wrong about the use of the word "capital".

Time for the Consortium to move on to prepping for tonight's "Update From Luzern", with breathless news about Denny's broken arm, or his newest rabbits.

The occupiers from the 1307th Regiment of the Russian Ministry of Defense recorded a video message in which they say that they arrived in Klishchiyivka on 19 September and received orders to take the landing and then move to the residential area in the village. They were assured that everything would be fine, but in reality, the invaders had to fight with rotten machine guns and the enemy outnumbered them ten to one.

Recently, two paratroopers who had been hiding in the occupied territory of one of Ukraine’s regions since the beginning of the full-scale war have been returned to the territory controlled by Ukraine. All this time, the soldiers were in an illegal situation and successfully hid thanks to local residents.

According to Censor.NET, the paratroopers took part in battles with the occupiers, were seriously injured and were unable to reach the territory controlled by Ukraine on their own.

“A decision was made to conduct a special operation to rescue and evacuate the servicemen, the preparation and conduct of which was entrusted to the special unit of the Angels Navy. An evacuation plan was prepared in a short time, and the command of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was also involved in its implementation, with units providing fire cover during the group’s departure,” the Ukrainian Navy said.
