I like the A. A. Milne method of a sudden Emphasized Innocuous Word in a sentence and I don't think it's used enough (maybe that's a good thing).

Agreed on both counts, it is a great Tool to make common nouns seem Proper.

No you didn't.  German doesn't use ë.

Neither does English, so it's just as realistic either way.

I've heard you should just form your lips in the shape of an "e" but say "e" instead; it's really easy. (/s)

German also only uses the letter C if it's followed by H or K. Otherwise, to make English look more German, replace C with K if hard or Z if soft.

I've always liked the Nørwegiån diacritics better, myself.

I'd love to see Poiponen's comments on this thread, since they've probably used more umlauts in their life than the rest of us put together.

Absolutely!

I think within the last year, I started having an English muffin as part of my Sunday morning routine.  My wife makes me a cup of coffee, and I have a toasted English muffin with butter and Marmite.

Until recently, I had been frustrated that, by the time I got to the last couple of muffins in the package, they had gotten hard and unappetizing.  I'd been keeping them in the package in the fridge.  But I found a technique that works great:  (1) split each muffin in half with a fork to preserve the crumb texture, (2) put each muffin back together and wrap it in clingfilm, (3) put them all in a freezer bag inside another freezer bag, (4) store them in the freezer.  Come Sunday morning, I unwrap one, unwrap it, pry its halves apart, and put it in the toaster.  This past Sunday, I had the last of six muffins–which I had put in the freezer in November–and it tasted like it was only one week old or so.

Ick. I can't take sentences like that seriously.

The Constitution does it (including the early amendments, but I believe it stopped when common practice in English stopped as the years went on), but it capitalizes the nouns specifically (as German would do); "first" and "important" in the quote above would still be in lowercase.

Something quite underrated: Getting home from a vacation on Saturday of a holiday weekend. Makes Sunday much more relaxed having that extra day. Less need to scramble around to get things done (especially for us this weekend because we have to take down the Christmas decorations, but grocery shopping and one or two other errands are higher priorities).

A friend of mine capitalizes all him or he pronouns relating to Jesus in his Grammar in phone texts.

With some exceptions, or arguably errors, such as the "d" in "provide for the common defence" in the preamble.

Also, the bill of rights amendments follow a more random capitalization scheme, such as the first:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The ſ, or long s, was maintained though, in Congreſs, preſs, aſsemble, and redreſs, at least in the fancy copy in the National Archives.

The Bible is normally typeset to capitalize all pronouns referencing God and Jesus. Thus Christians often do the same thing when referring to them (or should that be Them? Or Him, depending on which denomination you are?) in their own writing.

Interestingly, maybe, the King James Version is not one of them, as seen in this excerpt from the Gospel of John:


The difference between the upper- and lower-case H can be seen in comparing the "H" of "Howbeit" with the "h" of "whence":
