In Indonesia, people have a habit of capitalizing common nouns that they want to lend importance to even when the words are not the names or official titles of things. This many of them then do when they write in English and they sometimes take exception.to seeing their capital letters rendered lower case, even though the use of those capital letters was essentially incorrect even in the writing when it was in their own language.
