Why does Greek bible text uses small letters for word holy spirit?

In the original Greek text, nothing is capitalized. There is also a complete lack of punctuation. This is one of the reasons there have been so many various translations. Any valid translation will use a consensus of many scholars in determining where these devices should be, as they can effect meaning.
EXAMPLE:
Spirit - The Holy Spirit, The Spirit of God
spirit - The Spirit of Man
