But the correct way to refer to you and I is in that order, whereas in many other languages it's the other way around. No matter how bad one's grammar is, "you" always comes before "I" when a msg is in English. But many people use "I" as "i". It's true that people are more sloopy when writting e-mails. My boyfriend writes short stories and lyrics on a RE basis, but when he writes me e-mails there's no punctuation and no caps. Same with my major professor. These people's msgs look like they came from an analphabet. Something to the electronic media makes people think grammar is something not all too important. I wonder whether the same rules for analysing people's styles of writting would apply to the web.
