Feedback - capitals vs capitols
You are correct as far as I know: capitol= country capitol, such as America's Washington DC; capital = wealth/ capital letters/ tops of pillars are capitals too, with three different shapes-- Doric, Corinthian, and Ionic.
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #50: Characters for Kids
Lucy from C.S. Lewis' Narnia series-- particularly her roles in "Prince Caspian" and "Voyage of the Dawn Treader." Out of all the characters I often felt that I could relate to her the best, and she got to be Aslan's messenger to the others quite frequently and she saw him the most.
Reader Challenges - Tea with the Queen
"Well," Alice said as she stared at the Queen in bemusement, "At least you yourself don't seem to go around telling people to chop of their heads all the time, Your Majesty," and she smoothed the frock of her pinafore primly.

Book Requests - Captain Blood pleeeease!
Sea Hawk isn't nearly as good as Captain Blood in my opinion, but they're both fun to read. Scaramouche is EXCELLENT, go for it.
