I was just helping one of my sisters with her school...and I had a thought <----scary.

Why, when we writing, do we capitalize the letter "i" and not "you" ??? thats just mad. nonsense. disrespectful to others. i for one am not capitalizing "i" anymore.

i know, i'm taking this far too seriously. XD

Its kinda like how people from other countries spell color like colour ( i've thought about tracking down whichever came first, but it seemed like too much work.) and also how in china steering wheels are on the opposite side of the car 'cause they HAVE to be different...i find it all very annoying.

i'm such a weirdo!!!!

In old English, all Nouns were capitalized, encluding Thee and Thou, and probably You if They would have used it. Actually, let me go back and capitilize all the Nouns in this Paragraph.

colour is right, girl... so are favourite, humour and other similar stuff... i guess you'll feel strongly about it the other way round... but what's life without an argument?

I seriously dont care to stand up for anything in this bloody country...it just annoys me the way some one HAD to be different, so they changed it.

so yeah, i'm pretty sure the correct spelling is "our" not "or"

and life without an argument would be easier.

Now, about the steering wheel???? Lol!

life isn't necessarily better when it's easier, is it? the steering wheel... i read somewhere that that evolved from the way americans and british people would drive their horse drawn carriages...

hmm, good point...no matter what happens in life, we're never satisfied. XD

lol, thats interesting...i'll definitely look that up ^^
