Way way OT:
Just out of interest, why do some people use the non-existent word "i", not to mention other violations of capitalization rules when

Could be various reasons. It's a multi-cultural list. English as 2nd or 3rd language. users may not have a western-style keyboard. Maybe dyslexic (in rare case spell-check could complicate matters)

He is also a graduate chemical engineer, former union organizer, economics professor (masters degree) and it's obvious that while spelling and grammar checkers are a must for people with these problems, the truth is that it's about effective communication and I don't have much patience for those who want to insist on rules of communication rather than just appreciate the communication.
