I never realized how much I lurk here instead of posting:)

@Aximbigfan - This is something I wanted to tell you for a while. Here it is tonight. Every time you use I for I am or I've or whatever you use it for it is a CAPITAL I. So from now on you know it and there no excuse not to cap the I if used as self designation. :)

i must say, i find it easier not to cap my i's so i don't ... since it's such an informal site, i don't feel the need to bother with capitalization....

If y'all can't use proper capitalization, I'll have to keep you after school!

Ohay you guys had fun with the i instead of I. I am trying to show him the right way for business writing. Maxifigban has a business so it is important to get it right. Like the support Wendy :approve:

Worried OK, here's my take on th I-not-i imbroglIo.

I personally tend to use capital I's in their correct emplacement.
Just my personal preference.

However, at times when I'm trying to get a Post in edge-wise, in a hurry.....i just type with the letters as they are using no caps from beginning to end and often little punctuation. But I do proofread for any egregious spelling errors before I hit Submit, if I'm not sure, I'll Google it real fast.

As The Siren Of The Site says, this is an informal gathering. In this I wholeheartedly support her.



I also agree with André about "real life" typing. In particular about the spelling. There is no reason for anyone to spell so atrociously as to draw so much attention to himself for no other reason. Apparently that seems to be his real intention.

ABF has admitted that he can type correctly, if he were to slow down. He says that he codes correctly because he types slower when he codes.

So, I-not-i? He knows the difference, but chooses not to do so here.
Spelling? Again, he knows how, but chooses not to do so here.
Both I suspect for the attention it draws him.

I did Forward that last one to someone, like you asked, and she thought it was the best thing since French Bread!


Pedah! Pedah!.........come back Pedah!!!
