what does this guy do that i can't do?

i's are presumptuous, and the english language preaches conceit.

is it fair that 'i' get(s) capitalization when you, her, and him are denied it? what do(es) 'i' have that 'it' doesnt??

if 'a' can stand alone without taking growth hormones, what could 'i' possibly use them for??

we were taught that proper nouns are capitalized and everything else... isnt. but 'i' is not a proper noun. it's not even a noun. it's a pronoun. and pronouns are never capitalized in the middle of the sentence. not even if they refer back to a proper noun. because they lack the pompous awesomeness that real nouns get. they are the stand-ins for the actors that never get credited at the end of the movie.

and then i come(s) along with a hammer and break(s) all the rules to pieces. because what are rules where vanity is concerned?

and then, to make matters worse, 'i' cant even follow those rules. why doesnt 'me' get a capital 'm'? it's referring to the most wonderful and glorious person that is myself just as much as 'i' is. is it not??

this is why no sleep, exams, and way too much free time should not be mixed... at least not for me. i start to personify letters and hate on the english language.
