    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.

          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.
