I was speaking with someone I knew earlier, and they mentioned that capitalization in Latin changes the meaning - that, for instance, "optima" with the first letter capitalized means "optimist" instead of what the Unicorn dictionary defines it as: the superlative form of "bonus, bona, bonum".
I ask you Textkitters for verification. There hasn't been any mention of it in Wheelock's so far, and it is a bit mind-boggling since I was taught that the Romans didn't have capitalization. Could it be a quirk of Ecclesiastical Latin or something uncommon?
