My Dear Denmark , 
 
It's mostly local vernacular ( and a bit of a rant )  , like visiting northern England and trying to stay with the local Pub talk , you'd need a translator .  
  By the way , I just discovered Julia Fischer and her recorded Saraste performance , it's five star , thru and thru , wonderful music .  I think she's one of the immerging violin virtuosos , they tight-mic her playing to superb result !  
 
Nice hearing from you ,

  Thanks for the post, Tony, that was really trippy.

Yeah... Trippy.  Like, so trippy that I'm convinced they put LSD in the water in MI.

Fact: capitalizing nouns is a German thing, not English. Again, never a thing here. Nor in the UK, as far as I know.

Not never, but not for a very long time:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

It seems to have been a regional thing (Northern colonies), unless it was a generational thing on its way to going out of style.

Hello Ireland ,   
 
I don't have a link , someone loaned me a copy , it's a recent recording , came out of Europe , probably find it on a google search .   
Sarasate is a South American Composer that I'm just now discovering , Julia recording this is something of a first , I'm guessing .   I'll recommend it to our Leonard Slatkin of the Detroit Symphony next time I see him , probably he already knows . 
  Julia is wonderful , as is J.Bell .   Do you know of any others worthy of discovering ? , I'd love to hear of them .

Those concept serve as proper nouns.  Proper nouns are capitalized in English.  It's kind of like how theists capitalize god or gods.  I believe all nouns are capitalized in German... but I'm not sure about pronouns.

I think it may be safe to say the Mr. Kaz(yall) is more about function than form.
But in either case he does bring a unique perspective to these musings, which provides a higher entertainment quotient, which helps keep us from being bored…

In the Adams-Jefferson letters, Adams always capitalizes; Jefferson never. But that doesn't tell us if the difference was regional, generational, or personal. They handled the long s differently too, much as the English and Scots varied.

It's probable that Adams handled the spelling and punctuation of the Declaration: Jefferson's "inalienable" in his handwritten drafts vs Adams' "unalienable" in the his handwritten draft and the parchment and print versions. Or just blame some anonymous Philadelphia typesetter.
