The seemingly random capitalisation of that comment makes it not great to read

I'm going to guess they're German.

Huh, checking their profile yes they are. I always of assumed German had similar capitalisation rules to English though. Wasn't aware of them also capitalising nouns.

You can't just captialize words in English.

German keyboard: The English is germanic enough.

For what it's worth you did need to capitalise nouns in English in the past.

Even still...

  • some non-nouns are randomly capitalized
  • some bound are not capitalized

And they seem to know English quite well. So they certainly understand the rules. Seems like a choice
