I've noticed that some people here don't capitalize at all in their posts, but caps are not that common in the english language anyway, while in german every noun starts with a cap. Besides, my post was meant to be joke, hence the emoticon at the end.

What really surprises me is that some people whose native language is english are doing a quite poor job in spelling words correctly. It's okay to make a mistake every now and then, but several within a single sentence is an embarassment I would say.

Danke für die Blumen.

Thanks for the flowers. That's it, word for word translation, congratulations.

Bonus points for figuring out that this phrase doesn't make sense when translated word for word and coming up with the correct solution: "Thanks for the praise".

Sure, there are many versions of the english language. But I think on an open forum like this, people should try to either use british or american english as these two versions are the most common used (and taught in schools all over the world).
