Bothering to read this thread Consumed my time that I will not get back..... Now I hate that word. Thanks.
 
They pretty much runded that definition of run into the ground didn't they? :)

I once heard that the only word "when capitalized" not only changes the definition, but the pronunciation is mobile.

mobile: is to have the ability to move....dynamic

Mobile: Is a City in Alabama

Don't know for sure this is the only word that way, just what I heard one time.

This use of the word is pronounced just like the city is. (: a work of art or a decoration that is hung from above and that has attached shapes or figures that move easily in the air)
