well, that is your personal problem

in fact here in german speaking countries there are
way more words which are normally not written lowercase
at all but nobody has a problem these days read sms, email
and so on without a single uppercase letter

Harald, you're in error. Many German speaking people consider style of writing you are using here, to be rude, disrespectful and childish - I am one of these.

Sure, it's tolerated in private SMS correspondence, but no so in written correspondence.
