yes. German capitalizes the nouns. American/English capitalize the 1st word of a sentence & many proper nouns such as people's names, the names of states & countries, etc

My typing teacher told us that everyone has some combination of letters they will always mess up, for some reason.  For myself, it's always the T and the H ... so my "the" looks like "hte".  It's apparently normal.

My guess is that you're looking primarily at people writing online. AOLspeak/chatspeak is not representative of American spelling ability. Note also that this is rampant in the UK and Australia as well. I've such things in French and German too. There's an annoying perception that spelling just doesn't matter online, and it's not just in America.\n\nAdditionally, however, English is a hybrid between Anglo-Saxon (Old English, or 'Englisc') and Old French (Latin-based). Because of this, there's a lot of inconsistency in the language. Also, since most of us don't study Latin or Anglo-Saxon, we don't know the roots from which the words are formed.\n\nTo add on, the above answers complaining about your grammar and such are wrong in that:\n* 'Spelt' is a word. It's chiefly British, but is a perfectly acceptable alternate to 'spelled'\n* It's not 'grammer', but 'grammar'. Common mistake they should have caught while whining about your other minor errors and non-errors. 9They also failed to capitalise 'English'.)\n* 'Spellings' is a plural noun. The spelling of a word can be right or wrong, and the spellings of words can be right or wrong.\n\n(Yeah, Shawn's answer was just awful.)

Two reasons, in my opinion:\n1. English spelling is inconsistent, and does not match the pronunciation of the words.\n2. Good spelling comes with reading a lot of high-quality writing. People don't do this any more.

o and 0 look very similar especially capital O and 0. I guess its just shorter to say o and the character sounds how it looks

Yes, it's capitalized, because it's a proper noun.\n\nThe other isn't one word it's two words, thanks giving.

Because the word little is large

On spelling and grammar, I would have to say English people, for example when somebody uses 'is there more...' instead of 'are there more...' and 'too' instead of 'to' or refuses to use capital letters!!!!! Grrrrr! On other things, who knows? I think that I would go for English people! :)

maybe the sign in is case sesitive...example if your sign-in is IRish then typing IrisH is not going to work you have to type it in exactly the way when you signed up for the service

Because English has a spelling rules but each rule comes with its exeption.  This makes it very hard for students to be able to learn how to spell because its not very phonetic.

cause other languages have different letters and grammer rules also each language is different in pernunciation and rules wit speech\nthis carries thru with sign language

Because double letters are used for plurals in abreviations. For example, page is "p." while pages is "pp.". So Estados Unidos is "EE.UU."

I think that the reason you write it with a capital C, is because it changes the meaning of the word to the political orientation of a nation. So in other words, communism with lower case c, means a type of behavior, displayed in a group, and with the capital c it means the political orientation of a nation like : Cuba.

Good question.  It's because of the consonant sound that the vowel "u" makes in both words ("yu", consonant sound of "y-").  You already know the rule for articles that preceed a word - use "a" if the word starts with a consonant (or consonant sound), and "an" if the following word begins with a vowel or womel sound.\n\nThat's why.  English is bizarre.
