Why don't people capitalise "I" anymore?

I have relised that hardly anyone does it.

Me either.

Because of lazyness maybe? Or maybe lower I is cool now.

I always do unless I'm txting, and then I only don't because to cap I have to navigate menus, and then do the same to uncap.

Ask steve jobs.

Why is it people do not know the difference between "s" and "z" when spelling?mindstorm

Edit 1: That is, unless it is a local way of spelling that I am not familiar with (aka, not American English spelling). 

Edit 2: Google seems to point that it can indeed. I do not know that I have ever actually come across these spellings.

Quit being so egotistical, only those who think they're super special feel the need to emphasize themselves in written word. i dont see the issue, as the meaning doesn't change, be it "i" or "I"Nibroc420

Actually it does. "I", the pronoun, has to be capitalized. If it's not, it's not the same word. 

According to the dictionary, "i" (lower case) is a noun, and has a few definitions:

1. the ninth letter of the English alphabet, a vowel.

2. any spoken sound represented by the letter I  or i, as in big, nice, or ski.

3. something having the shape of an I.

4. a written or printed representation of the letter I  or i.

5. a device, as a printer's type, for reproducing the letter I  or i.
A capitalized "I" is a different word, it's a pronoun, and is defined as "the nominative singular pronoun, used by a speaker in referring to himself or herself."

Apparently, you did. It's a long story. I'll readd.

How you present yourself is 100% how people percieve you. On a medium where people only have your written word to go by, that's how you'll be judge. Like it or not.

Truth.

I find that more people spell "we're" as "were"

It annoys me

Just to point out that writers are generally lazy and will create new words to make it easier to write. For example tomorrow use to be to-morrow before someone decided to take out the -.

Not capitalizing the I is pretty much the same rule of thumb, laziness. saying i walked to the store this morning vs I walked to the store this morning will have the same outcome. Only difference is the person thinks its an inconvenience to hit the shift key.

I still do it. The only lazy typing abbreviation I make is using bc instead of because

i always capatlize I.

i do

I usually don't do it when I'm drunk/high. 

Because texting has made people lazy (I realise some probably post from their phone at times, but still).
