What is with this movement of everyone on bulletin boards using small i rather than propper English "I" for identifying one's self?
Are people's [Shift] key broken, accessing the boards on the cell phone, trying to make a statement, or possessed by the spirit of E. E. Cummings?

I think it comes from new and trendy words like iPod, iPhone or iDiot, paired with the complete ignorance of proven concepts and an average IQ slightly above the temperature of arctic water.
Kills me everytime.
HATE HATE HATE!
Hang them with their balls, stab their eyes and shot them. And than do it again just for good measure.
Aah, I feel better know.
Thanks for listening.

Fall of Ego, globalization syndrome? Is still Magna Carta a valid piece of paper?
One can ask as well why anglo-saxons use a capital for "I" where the sentence is yet started... 😉

I don't know how you translate this, but in German "to do" at the end of my question wouldn't be a verb.

Not quite that bad for me; I'm sure some use English as their 2nd, 3rd, 4th language, & English has too many quirks as it is. But it happens so much now if I see a request-post with i everywhere, I'll just let someone else handle it.

I find Italian very hard to understand over the internet, since I cannot see their hands moving while Italians are talking. 😉

eh eh eh, I'm half sicilian too, they are even smarter in south-Italy: sicilians don't need even to move hands, like lovers, they talk using the eyes.
There's a famous story here concerning a court trial for Mafia where two bosses appeared under the court and when the two men looked into each others eyes the judger said "Ok, the trial is over, it's useless we go on because they have communicated!". The assistents said to the judge; "But they didn't say a single word!" But the judger said, "Yes, but they looked into each other's eyes, it's over!".
