CAPITALIZING THE WORD I | 2006-03-24
Derek says,
"I think that we capitalize I so that we show possession or significance? This should be pretty elementary....but even I am stumped. "
In English, the only pronoun capitalized is "I".
In German, where all nouns are capitalized, "ich" is not, but Sie, formal for "you" is.
We capitalize proper names, so maybe I is considered a proper name.
Language is like sex, you don't try to deal with it logically.
