Tendency to capitalize nouns.

4 Comments

In the English language, proper nouns and words at the beginning of sentences are capitalized, although there are other occasions where capitalization is a good idea. However, it is not as such in all languages.

Ever since I learned German, I occasionally have this tendency to capitalize nouns, because the German language capitalizes nouns. I have to go back and erase the erroneously capitalized letter and rewrite it.

Do you ever have this issue, and are you multilingual? The reason I ask the latter is because I believe there may be a connection.

Ever since I learned a lanugage that does this, this happens to me. 3

    Ha when I saw the title I was thinking, "the op must be learning German." I think it's normal. I've taken a lot of German and had the tendency to do this while actively learning the language. Not so much anymore.

      The Nazis did not invent the German language and they killed millions of ordinary German people too, who just happened to have a disability, or of Jewish descent - or for any reason they decided they were undesireable

      I love Poland and hate the Nazis more than most people but it's not logical to hate the German language or all the German people.
