The letter "I" is a Capital Letter no matter where you use it in a sentence.

O.K., since you wanna turn this into Grammar 101...
do you mean the letter "I" ?
Or do you mean the Pronoun "I"?

I failed 101, but IM talking about the letter"I", not the number 1.

Don't forget about the apostrophe in I'M!

To my recollection there is no "I" in Chevelle...

c - a - p - t - a - l are also "Capital" letters since they are in the word "Capital"

G - R - E - E - K are all "greek" letters too ya know.

OK Patrick - what one word in the english language has 3 sets of double letters on a row like; xxddll

Depends on the meaning of "I"?

Ok, Alex, what is...
BOOKKEEPER!!!!!?

To David Birdwell, I have always though that there should be a apostrophe between the I and the M, but my spellcheck says no and always capitalizes it (IM) no matter where it is used in a sentence. Sounds like you passed 101.

Patrick,

O.K., I mentioned nothing about the number 1 (one).

So, do you mean the letter "I"?
Or do you mean the pronoun "I"?

And what the Hell brought this on?

One instance where the letter "I" is not capitalized....when the abbreviation "i.e." is used in place of "that is".
Example: Chevelle Tech is to be used as a forum for discussing Chevelle related items, i.e. where can one find such and such part for my 72 Chevelle, or is anyone planning on attending Chevellabration this year?.

BTW......."I'm" is the contraction for "I am".....thus the apostrophe-small "m".

I am now completely and totally confused.
What is this thread about?

 

[Dave Birdwell]

Thanks, Shannon. You beat me to it.
I believe i.e. is short for "in example"
