AW: [RT] IMHO



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links


Not being a native speaker of English, and speaking of humble opinions here,
I cannot help wondering why the pronoun by which the speaker refers to
himself in this language has to be spelled with a capital "I". I must say
I've always found this a bit strange, especially in view of the wonderful,
slightly self-deprecating Anglo-Saxon sense of humor. Many other languages
reverse the case and capitalize "You" instead.

Just my humble opinion.

Even if we agree, it would just be our (humble) opinions, as opposed to,
say, a fact...
