text: anybody know why "i" is the only personal pronoun that is always capitalized? regardless of its position in a sentence. not "we", not "you", not "he, she, or it".  the only exception i can think of is "he" when referring to a deity. a person's name, regardless of the position in a sentence, is always capitalized as a sign of importance to that person. the same with "i" when speaking of yourself.   on a regular basis no one speaks in third person narrative (use your own name when speaking of yourself) therefore "i" is capitalized. essentially you are still speaking of yourself but in a different narrative which is just as deserving as using your own or someone elses name.  he, she and it are not capitalized (in the middle of a sentence)because those terms specifically do not refer to one person all on their own. they need to be supported then you know who he, she and it are.  ex. billy was walking in the park and he found a ball.  if i had said "he was walking in the park and found a ball" you wouldn't know who "he" was.   i believe people do capitalize "he" or "she" when referring to a deity to show their up most respect but it's not necessary or required.
