Legibility. It is a significant improvement, and it still bothers me that English underuses it, even after years of it being my primary reading language.

- shultays 4y agoEnglish underuses it You mean it underuses capitalization? What are the examples in other languages that uses for other purposes?
- doctor_eval 4y agoI believe that in German all Nouns are Capitalised, not just Proper Nouns. Please correct Me if I’m wrong. (Except for my Capitalisation, which is all over the place because I’m trying to illustrate to English readers why I find German really hard to read)
- wanderingstan 4y agoYes, that is correct. It’s just a convention. Early English writing sometimes also capitalized all nouns. I imagine the capitalization of Latin alphabets must seem crazy to someone whose native language doesn’t have them.
- giomasce 4y agoNotice that "Capitalised" and "Proper" are adjectives and "Me" is a pronoun, so they're not capitalised in German.
