I've noticed some Americans, particularly Armed Bookworms, differentiating between these two words. The only difference is the case of the first letter. But is there more difference?

Americans, you answer.

Unless you distinguish one as a noun and one as a adjective, no there isn't.

ussually when people say democrat small d they mean someone who believes in democracy, a big D Democrat means they are a member of the party. I guess the same goes for liberals and members of the liberal party.

I don't know what armed bookworms ment.

Liberalism is based on Enlightenment principles, Tom Jefferson is a Classical Liberal, liberalism is based on political correctness and stupidity...Michael Moore.

Well, even though it makes me feel like a one hit wonder, here is another inspirational DNA quote.

Capital letters were always the best way of dealing with things you didn't have a good answer to.

Thanks, but as for Michael Moore... political correctness and stupidity? Rather, brash generalisation and manipulation.

Yes, I would assume that, except that there is no Liberal Party in America.
