Except that "polish" can also be written "Polish" in some cases - note
the difference in meaning between the two "Polish" below.
"Polish the silverware, please."
"Polish imports of silverware has increased."
Also, it's not the capital "P" that sets the meaning of the word
"Polish", but the context. In the sentence below the correct meaning
of the word "Polish" is read even when it's written in the wrong case.
"The polish silverware"
