Charlottesvile is in Virginia, the inappropriately proud former capitol of the Confederacy. Charlotte is in North Carolina, one of the inexplicably proud sources of cannon fodder for generals from Virginia. Let’s try to keep it straight, kids. :mad:
Charlottesville was never capital of the confederacy. Those were Montgomery, Alabama, and Richmond, Virginia.
And Danville! Everybody forgets Danville.
OP is calling the state the capital, not the city. But I don’t think we typically use the word like that.
I don’t! I think about it every time I call there.
English is a maleable language, and we all do our part to bend it to our needs. Couldn’t call it the home, because that’s SC, another source of cannon fodder. Not that Virginia didn’t provide some men for her generals to get killed.
OTOH, I just sometimes get capital and capitol mixed up, especially when I’m Pittin’ Mad.
Oh, hush.
In fact, hush, hush…
Danville had a train, right?
That was sweet.
Reminds me of one of my favorite Bette Davis flicks: Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlottesville.
So, the Hornets don’t play basketball there?
I tried to repurpose the song when I was a kid, but it didn’t scan.
My thoughts are with all of you in Charlotte, S.C. 
I’m confused. Are we talking about Charleston, West Virginia or Charleston, South Carolina?
Sure, but it’s not like there’s anyone else who’s using “capital” to mean an entire state. And it doesn’t even make clear what you mean to say, either about the Confederacy or about Virginia.
Are you sure it wasn’t Charlotte’s Web, Virginia?
I think it’s something about Princess Charlotte and Nazis. Did her uncle pulled out that costume again? You’d think he’d know better now that he’s older.
I didn’t know Prince Edward Island was ever in the Confederacy. Learn something new every day.
Wasn’t Prince Edward in A Confederacy of Dunces?
A few days back I was listening to the Sean Hannity show, when he was reviewing a series of supposed outrages. He read some sort of report claiming that maybe (no real evidence was given, just speculation) paid protesters had been recruited for Charlottesville. But then he noticed that the report was for Charlotte, not Charlottesville. After noticing that it was actually Charlotte, instead of admitting a mistake, he just ominously added “Anyway, this bears looking into.”
Yeah, but bear intrusion into homes are on the rise. That’s a known fact.
“Bear with me,” I texted, after one broke into my home.
