Something I noticed when reading your excellent posts is that you don't capitalize your i's. I have no opinion on whether you should or not, but it did get me thinking—the English language has always seemed a bit interesting to me in that regard. It's the only language I know that does this.
German capitalizes all its nouns, and lots of languages capitalize God and "You" if they're talking about Him (not me though atheist fuck as I am), but only English capitalizes "I". Almost seems a secular statement, if I didn't know better 😅

I’m just weird when it comes to my 'i’s. I went through all of my school years and only had one teacher who tried to help me with it. Somehow i came out of it only capitalizing the beginning of sentences and nouns (when i remember). I was just thinking to myself how it’s odd no one pointed out out after all this time just the other week.
I didn’t know that English was the only one that capitalized 'i’s though. It’s an interesting thing to learn about the language
