It is often important to distinguish them: In German, "ungar" and "Ungar" mean vastly different things: "uncooked" and "Hungarian", respectively. ;-) It is also extremely useful to distinguish words from different languages, like English "kind" and German "Kind". But most of all, I think it is important for people trying to learn about a language to know whether or not a particular word requires capitalisation. For many Germans, it is hard to understand that names of languages (like "English") are capitalised in English even when they are adjectives. Timwi
