If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

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.

It's quite simple. One refers to big letters, the other refers to big buildings.
