OK. Then don't say it's Breton: It may occur in any Latin language, either
as a typo, or within specific technical usages such as variable names in a C
or Java program where a space cannot be used to separate words; here also
it's not the normal orthograph part of the language, but a notation to allow
more descriptive identifiers.
If you accept typos and technical usages, these occurences of "defective"
capitalization rules are not rare but not part of the language.
