Today I learned that every noun is capitalized in the German language. German spelling reforms even occurred in 1996 that made the capitalization system more consistent; it ensured that every noun was capitalized, even nouns in expressions (to ride a Bike).  Unlike English, the first-person-singular pronoun (‘I’ in English) is lower case (ich), unless it starts a sentence.  Thanks to this, I can really get a good grasp of the German language.  Oh wait.  No I can’t.  But at least I can tell you which words are nouns in the sentence.  That way I can piece together the sentence and figure out its meaning.  Oh wait.  No I can’t.  Every sentence has a noun.  Crap.  Well I can tell you that the German word for capitalization is Großschreibung.  What!?  I just grasped the capitalization thing, now they are throwing that weird giant letter B thing in on me.  Apparently, that stupid letter is called an Eszett and is used in place of a double s.  Whoever invented that letter is an aßhole.
