But isn't no capitalization a feature of the english language? As a german i say:

Da kann Ich nur drüber lachen, Groß- und Kleinschreibung in der englischen Sprache ist ein guter Witz.

    They're saying it's a matter of perspective. From a German speaking perspective, if you used your "proper" capitalisation it would be lacking according to their "proper" capitalisation. Example:

    I can only laugh about it, Upper and Lower case in the english Language is a good Joke.

    So German's don't have rules for proper punctuation and capitalisation?

    Yes, they do. The rules are just different from yours.

    Then the equivalent here would be what German feels when people do the opposite of the rules

    I made a joke about German having way more rules about capital letters than English. In German every noun is written with capital letters, every start of a sentence, every verb that takes on the propertys of a noun and every name. Since english uses way less capital letters i thought it would be funny to joke about how english is lacking in that department.
