I don't know, what would happen in English if you didn't capitalize the days of the week? Do people point and laugh? You get disciplined? Or would English speakers accept this as a better way to write the days of the week?

No human language on Earth is in a position where it can laughs at others for their idiomatisms.

I do not think that was their point (to laugh at other languages), but rather, that there may be contemporary situations in which warrant rethinking the idioms of a language. As an aside, I do not think many people who speak english would even notice a lack of capitalization for the days of the week.

I've had colleagues who refuse to use capitals in most cases. And yet their writing is completely comprehensible.

[cryptonector]

In English most people wouldn't care. You're going to get in more trouble in French schools for this than in U.S. schools (I don't know about UK schools, or elsewhere in the Anglosphere). My impression is that European culture is a lot more sensitive to these things than U.S. culture.

You'd certainly be corrected in the UK and would count as a regular spelling mistake.

Is Esperanto clear of exceptions and illogicalisms?

i never bother capitalising things. i was pulled up on it once, ever.

that person was wrong. :P
