Why do we capitalize the word “I”?
So what effect has capitalizing “I” but not “you” — or any other pronoun — had on English speakers? It’s impossible to know, but perhaps our individualistic, workaholic society would be more rooted in community and quality and less focused on money and success if we each thought of ourselves as a small “i” with a sweet little dot.
Hmm. Possibly just an attempt to get the word Majascule twice into an article (that’s a word that deserves to be capitalised. Majascule. I like it.), but an interesting read nonetheless.
