I don't get it. These words are pronounced differently when capitalized? In whose dictionary? "Forest" is pronounced the same upper or lower case; same with "forget." Is this a joke?

akabot: Check out the explanation on the linked page. "Forest" is the name of a town in Belgium, "Forget" is the name of a French tennis player, etc.

I agree with "forget/Forget," but I still don't see the "forest/Forest" for the trees! ... #;-)
