    I don’t see that capitalization serves any purpose.

    Most Roman script langauges use capitalization to make it easier to read. By capitalizing the first word of a sentence it makes it easier to locate the start of the sentence. By capitalizing proper nouns, it makes it clearer what (or who) you are talking about. People raised as Anglophones fine the semitic languages lack of capitals to be annoying.

    It is required by IRS guidelines for certain long-lived acquisitions as well as by GAAP.

    Who said accountants can’t make a joke.

    It looks better because we are used to it.

    That’s true. It’s a convention. And we should try to be conventional.

    Because we are used to it, it makes it easier for us to read. Obviously, if you have something you want to say, you would want to make it as easy as possible for people to get the message. Capiche?

    So ask an Israeli if they sometimes get mixed up between proper nouns and regular words, then you’ll have your answer

    Are you saying there’s a fault in the language?

    No, just that capitalisation makes proper nouns and standard nouns separate from each other.
