I guess it depends a bit on their (natural language) mother tongue. In
German (at least) many words must be written with uppercase first
letter, and there are sometimes non-obvious rules for it, and the
teacher at school normally really trains the pupils on
that. Consequently they might develop a strong feeling that case
matters.

... would make a nice diploma thesis for a social psychology student
to find some statistical evidence here :-)
