The only time I don't capitalise the letter I on purpose is if it proceeds a double LL.. ...so instead of Illuminati looking like this ....it looks like this illuminatiI remember doing that. I had a point. I don't remember what the point was. Could the few of you who use 'i' instead of 'I' please explain why? Does your keyboard not capitalize? Been curious about this for awhile now. Thanks.
The shift key is too far away from the i key.I'm particularly interested in 'i' for 'I' as I think the answer is a compelling insight into the mind of the writer of it.
I'm not bothered at all by it, just curious as I (like over 50 years ago) used it consciously, I had a reason I wanted to express, I just don't remember what it was. So, not discussing speed but a deliberate way of expression.Speed of writing; we live in a busy world. For some it may just be style. As long as the content is reasonably clear I’m not bothered.
It seems the only ? on my keyboard is in my head. If I look back later, I’ll see that once again I didn’t use it.
Guilty.....I'm particularly interested in 'i' for 'I' as I think the answer is a compelling insight into the mind of the writer of it.
can't say I've noticed anyone doing that on here..unless it was a typo.. god knows I do it enough because of my talons...I meant when referring to oneself. i.e. "i went to the store" instead of "I went to the store."
i say that is rubbish .....and how about spelling mistakes ??I remember in some handwrighting analysis books that I read when someone someone referes to themself as i it is an indication that they have low self esteem.
Or could it show equality with others? I don't even know why I said that! Or, not low self esteem as you point out but that the self is no more important than, say, he or she or you? I can't remember if I capitalized when it was word #1, but if I didn't that shows thought behind the process. But what thought?I remember in some handwrighting analysis books that I read when someone someone referes to themself as i it is an indication that they have low self esteem.
i agree.Guilty.....
Some people , like I, may have problems with fumbly fingers , nerve damage and missing digits so capitalizing can be a bit of a problem.
In my opinion not capitalizing i has no reflection on how one feels about oneself.....
