I like that this one is simple enough that even I, with my very terrible German, can understand it 😃
But why is “children” capitalized?
Because in the German language all nouns are capitalized.
Or was that a joke on children and capitalism?
Oh. So what’s the point of capitalizing things if it doesn’t help to differentiate a name from a regular noun?
Well, I’m not a linguist, but I would guess because most sentences are about nouns, so recognizing who is doing what easier might be a reason.
But honestly, you are already on the wrong track if you ask for reasoning in a language. That shit is completely man made, so we could make it logical. But nooohoo, every language has so many exceptions to their rules.
