Dratted small i!
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.

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...
