I  remember like it was yesterday my ENTIRE 4th grade year involving so 
many 4th  grade things, but one of those I remember the most fondly is the 
memorizing of  state  capitols. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
 
 
It's one of those strange oddities of the English language that only  the
capitol buildings use the "o."  The cities that I think you mean  are
state capitals.
 
Even the Greek orders, so often used on USA capitol buildings use
the capital spelling.
 
 
David S. - who's made that capital/capitol spelling error many  times.
