Your argument would carry more weight if you bothered to follow your own advice! The English language has a *definite* definition of what is proper -- that the personal pronoun "I" and the first word of every sentence be capitalized -- but you don't bother to follow it. If you can't be bothered to follow proper formatting in your own writing, why should anyone take advice from you about the "proper" format of other languages?
