    I like that this one is simple enough that even I, with my very terrible German, can understand it 😃

        Because in the German language all nouns are capitalized.

        Or was that a joke on children and capitalism?

          Oh. So what’s the point of capitalizing things if it doesn’t help to differentiate a name from a regular noun?

            Who says capitalizing is for differentiating a name from a noun? maybe it’s for differentiating a noun from everything else and English is actually the one doing it wrong.

              See my other comment in the thread, it applies to pretty much all languages that capitalize letters.
