With the influence of electronic writing, and how I handle the files on my computer, I ended up capitalizing a lot of words, then I felt like I was getting german, so I am trying to capitalize what is more proper.
In italian, you do not capitalize adjectives connotating the nationality, like italian, american, etc. and not even the language names – is it "mandatory" in english?
In English, we capitalize "proper nouns." Specific locations, businesses, people's names, that kind of thing.
You know I was just teasing you, right? Although we do seem to have uncovered an interesting difference in our languages.

Yup, I know you were teasing, but that’s interesting as – as much as I like english's choice of capitalizations (and tend to use it) I have found that the italian rules were easier, and I am trying to get back to them.
I mean, when I write in italian I just have to remember that I need to capitalize people's names, locations and little more, while in english I am always unsure. I do capitalize "Golden Age", however, as it’s not a generic addressing a "golden age" but refers to the comics' period.
In German is also easy because they capitalize each and every noun, but it gets somewhat cluttered and less comfortable to read, as much as these things benefit from habit, of course.
