Like, literally. Make it lowercase.

So, i read in Muse magazine that "I" started getting capitalized in the middle of a sentence to keep it from getting lost, a few centuries ago. That was before it had a dot. Nowadays, that's not a problem. So why do we still do that? It also makes sense now to put it down, because everyone likes iStuff.
I am starting a revolution! Down with "I"! (Sig banners to come at some point next week, maybe.)

EDIT: In case you can't tell, i put this here because i'm starting the revolution.

"I" is a proper noun so it makes sense doesn't it?

Is it really a proper noun? Names are proper nouns. A reference to one isn't.

Wickimen · 2012-04-11 23:14:48

I'm used to the capital I

yes they are. like, Mom is a proper noun, but not my mom. If you could say my I, it would be my i.

scimonster · 2012-04-11 23:17:31

I is a pronoun, not a proper noun.

Now, back to my revolution! xD

Wickimen · 2012-04-11 23:22:38

Interesting. I read an article just now, to find out more, on how people in other languages don't capitalize "i", but do capitalize a group, as in "You"
So i'll try it, but i'll probably forget.
Edit: the reason We don't have a problem, though, is because of the capitalized "i". I'll just be doing it for fun.

Yes, but it is using I as a name, like Mom in the example I used earlier.
edit: by the way, I hate iStuff. Go Windows and Linux!

That's interesting. Maybe i'll try capitalizing group names too. tongue

And don't worry Guys, You'll get used to it eventually. I still often slip up.

except it's not going to change, and getting used to it would destroy my L.A. grade.

It might, in the future. tongue
And i'm having too hard a time with the plurals, so i'll drop that.

Sorry, it just seems improper. Plus, my teacher would kill me. tongue

Anything new seems weird and improper. Why not start doing it on stuff your teacher won't see, and eventually, people will get used to it. tongue

I like the idea, but I might not do it. tongue

There's nothing wrong with it, why change it? Also, you can't start a revolution like this on Scratch. People will see it randomly, think it's just bad grammar, and move on. If they see this topic, they'll have my response.

I should be capitalized.
