Why not go back to runes then?

Writing is not for the writer. It's for the readers. Therefore I do my 
best to write in a way that presents the least number of obstacles for 
the targeted readers.

When I write German, I write the substantives with an uppercase first 
letter though I find that habit unnessecary and ridiculous, but not 
doing it would disturb the readers that are used to it.

That section also covers what I do with English words for countries, 
languages or people.
