Given that your dutch you might know enough German to know the
difference between

   "Dort haben sie etwas hingelegt"

and

   "Dort haben Sie etwas hingelegt"

One is "There they've put something down" and the other is "There
you've put something down."  Okay, so it's the only word in German
that I'm aware of that changes meaning with capitalization... but
nontheless it proves there *are* words that mean different things
because of their capitalization.

Just wanted to mention this,

Bye, J
