No one ever really thinks about it since it's mostly used for food, but holy crap, I bet I could ask everyone I know and they'd all get it wrong. When I waited tables, I would always put "caesar" and people thought I was crazy. They hear the long e sound and assume it's first. I always think "say-zar" when I spell it out.

Cities which serve as seats of government are capitals spelled with an A in the last syllable, as are most other uses of the word as a common noun. The only exceptions are place names alluding to capitol buildings in some way or other, like "Capitol Hill" in DC, Denver, or Seattle (the latter either named after the hill in Denver or in hopes of attracting the Washington State capitol building). Would it help to remember that Congress with an O meets in the Capitol with another O? capitol 1 a : a building in which a state legislative body meets b : a group of buildings in which the functions of state government are carried out 2 capitalized : the building in which the U.S. Congress meets at Washington, D.C. or when used in capital punishment or financial capital
