What do you think when you see someone referring to him/herself with a lowercase 'i"?

Question

Diva, if you see no point in a particular question, what does it say about you that you've answered it?

Answer 1

The use of the lowercase "I" when an individual refers to him or herself is a direct correlation with one's lacking in self-esteem. Scratch that. It's actually a direct correlation with one's inability to hit the "Shift" key down when they hit the "I" key, or one's inability to use the spell checker.

Answer 2

I am sure it really doesn't mean they don't know to use a capital "I". But as a teacher, I have seen students who in their writing will use a lower case 'it' and it does disturb me a little. I always ask before I jump to conclusions. I have found that many of them are not aware and some of them look at it as a 'fad'.....like texting,

Answer 3

My mother told me that when someone writes a lowercase "i" instead of a big "I" then they have self esteem issues. It means they don't have a lot of confidence in themselves or else they would use a big "I".

Answer 4

They released the Shift key before hitting the I key. It is easily done.

Answer 5

That it's either a typo or they're trying to squash that insidious old ego. And since attention has been brought to the fact, then they're not succeeding.

Answer 6

they are either a poet, a nonconformist, or they are not egotistical enough to think that the self needs to be capitalized.


(or they forget to hold down the shift key)

Answer 7

Lazy typer

Answer 8

What's the point? You know who talking about.

Answer 9

too lazy to hit the shift key.

Answer 10

I, myself, believe that all people should use the uppercase "I" when refering to oneself.
