Well, you've mentioned proper nouns. Not being a linguist
I can't tell for sure, but it seems a fair bet that what
disambiguates those two words is not the case of
the letter "P" but rather the role they play in the sentence
(verb vs noun).

Besides, I guess our Polish brethren must be getting
sick and tired of that word banded around as a sole
example of the (alleged) problem. Can you come up
with some others, not so flogged to death examples?
