Dratted small i!
Yes, it's me on my hobby-horse again!
I've been around a few other newsgroups and again note that nearly all of them are infinitely more trivial and/or foul-mouthed and/or full of flamers than the Word ones. But the tendency to use small i when a capital should be used is especially prevalent here. I wonder why, since you'd expect Word users to be more literate... Sigh... It's going to be a tense morning. Just got a manuscript to edit that can't make up its mind whether it is, was or will be... |

Actually, it's probably worse among Word users, who are likely so used to
Word capitalizing "i" automatically that they really never use the shift key. I mean, don't think I capitalize "i"--I'm just posting with a newsreader that does it automatically.

On the other hand, I HATE it when Word capitalizes a one-word "i" - it means
"and" in Polish, and (except in all-caps titles) is written in lower-case. -- Ted |

Tools | AutoCorrect, delete it from the list of AutoCorrect entries.
Except, if your language is tagged as Polish, this shouldn't be in the AutoCorrect list at all, I would think. AutoCorrect is language dependent, so you should be able to have this on for English and off for Polish.
