Agreed on all points.

Out of curiosity, why did you capitalize random nouns in your comment, and leave the proper noun in lower case?

German autocorrect on a Smartphone is my Nemesis. I hope the incorrect spelling is Not too distracting

Thanks for explaining. I'm convinced that autocorrect and touch screen keyboards are behind a great deal of the bad grammar and weird sentences that we see online.

Germans capitalize their nouns. As for the lower case proper noun, probably just a mistake.

Spot on. Its mainly for words for which have similar spellings in both languages and my autocorrect is used to german and wants to spell Things capitalized as often as it can

That's interesting, but I don't think it's because of a German commenter in this case, since only some some of the nouns are capitalized.
