>>>What an egotistic language!

>>In the Russian language we have two forms of 'you' referring to a single person: "ty", which is used between kids or when an adult is talking with a yound child or between close friends and relatives, and "Vy", which is official and polite form to address a person.

>Yes, and in Spanish and German it is similar. However, I used the term "egotistic" because "I" is capitalized, and other pronouns not.

To counter any other language I know of, English insists on capitalizing days of the week, months, Each Word Of A Title, adjectives derived from names ("Brownian motion") etc etc. In other languages, some of these may need to be capitalized, but not all of them.

So Anything can be Capitalized in English, except you, me, them... but then, that's economy :).
