The perpendicular pronoun is "I" (as in "me"). It is so called because it is a single, vertical letter standing at right angles to the line of text.

"I" is the called the perpendicular pronoun. Many students are told in high school that it is always wrong to use the word "I" in a formal essay. That is nonsense. True, there are occasions, such as in writing lab reports for science classes, where, in the name of objectivity, the first-person singular pronoun is inappropriate and the passive voice rules. It is also true that many thoughts and feelings in formal prose can be conveyed directly, without an introductory "I think" or "I feel." But in much discursive writing, in which the writer is mixing matters of fact with matters of interpretation, some means of indicating the different categories of statement is required. In such writing, telling the reader what the writer thinks, feels, believes, etc., is often necessary and useful. A failure to use the first-person singular in those circumstances can lead to absurdity. Do not say "It is thought that. . ." when there is no clear indication of a thinker. If you are doing the thinking, then it is all right to say "I think. . ."

A relative pronoun is a pronoun that marks a relative clause within a larger sentence. It is called a relative pronoun because it relates to the word that it modifies and is not specific . In English, relative pronouns are who, whom, which, whose, and that.
