To me= , whose main language is (American) English, it just looks a little weird, = aesthetically. But I don't find it either easier or more difficult to read= either way. English is my 1st language, also :).=20 It occurred to me that verbs are never capitalised in English (except as= the leading word in a sentence, of course). Proper nouns (and at one time = normal nouns) are capitalised. I guess I find it slightly easier to read as= it resembles normal English sentences a little more.
