Have you noticed how many people are starting to drop the word “I” from their email correspondence? I find this jarring… I can’t say why exactly yet… possibly because it sounds like people aren’t owning what they’re saying, somehow.

Did anyone notice the differences in languages?
I – one capital letter (English)
je, ja – two letters (French, Slavik)
ich – three letters (German)
wa ta shi wa – four syllabes (Japanese)
A word used more often becomes shorter.
Concerning grammar, spelling and putting myself, i think like that it is just fine…
