| Apr 21, 2020 at 22:52 | comment | added | amadeusamadeus | @DavidVogt Until the reform of 1996 it wasn't only acceptable, it was obligatory. Auf Deutsch used to be an error. The goal of the reform, however, was to strengthen the principle of capitalizing substantives, and some people felt that the substantive character of colours and languages with prepositions (same with Dame in Rot) predominates (cf. pub.ids-mannheim.de/laufend/sprachreport/pdf/sr04-extra.pdf, page 7) | |
