Adorkable and capitonyms

Today’s word of the day is adorkable. It means adorably dorky. Like, a Hello Kitty-branded phone.

Today’s list of the day features capitonyms, words which differ in meaning depending upon whether the first letter is capitalized or not, like Turkey and turkey and Apple and apple.
