    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.
