an i for an I

The Times of India has taken a bold step in dropping the first person singular pronoun "I", possibly heralding the end of one of the primary and the most unique rules of English grammar any kid would have been exposed to.

I realise it will be long before people will have warmed to this lowercase transition, and the purists will look askance at the ones who would follow the rule in its new avatar , atleast for sometime.

but if there were a vote,I wouldn't give it an aye...
