> Today in history class, i learned something interesting from a language major. She told the class that the English language is the only one that capitalizes the letter "i". It shows how much my European ancestors thought about only themselves, since "we", "group", "community", etc. have no capitalization needed for them. Thus, from now on, i will show that i do not care only about myself, since this is what i feel, and i will not capitalize it again.

I never used to, but I read about how much improper capitalization bothers most rinkworkians, so I do on posts. I haven't decided whether I will all the time or not. I think it depends on who will be reading it. I still refuse to capitalize my name. You know, in German all nouns are capitalized. That's kind of interesting.
