I have read some of your posts. Am I wrong If I say that Hindi has no capital letters?

Are you trying to make up for the lack of capital letters in other languages, José Manuel? There is an errant capitalised word in your post. Can you spot it? ;-)

Yes emsr2d2:

I am sure it was a typo after some change I made in the text.

In reading posts #10 and #12, and seeing that out friend was a Hindu, I thought that the mistake may be something about a completely different grammar system, with no capitals at all.

Chinese has no capital letters, but I can still use proper capitalization in English.Not a teacher.

Of course Matthew. And it will depend on the language level of the speaker/writer. But you must agree with me that it means another language difference to overcome in the case of our Hindu friend or yourself.

Obviously there are differences between English and - for instance - Spanish (my native language), but the moment I read post #10, I realized this person was an Asian citizen speaking a completely different language, and I felt curious about it.
