The letter s is a handy dual purpose, fuel purpose letter.
Possession - swift signal letter S
The boy's hat
One boy.
Father's day. One father.
A father, small initial letter, a type of object or person.
But. 'Please, Father!' Addressing your father or a priest, the capital letter in English is reserved for a proper name, a specific person.
In German, all nouns have capital letters. Does the German system have any advantages? Yes, it helps me, as a learner of German. I can sort out the nouns in a sentence to speed translation.
In some languages you repeat an entire word to show more than one. Jalan jalan in Malay-Indonesian, roads, journeys. You might thînk the benefit of this system is added clarity.
I love learning languages. You discover new ways of thinking and communicating.
Another discovery for travellers is that different
countries celebrate on different days.

Or download a card to print, or send an animated card. Several sites include Moonpig.
