I, as in "myself". In old british english you, myself, he and the like was all spelled with a capital first letter(You, Myself, He...) indicating a person. Only "I" and "He" remain today, one meaning "me", the other "God".

Megabot... if you write wery instead of Very one more time, I think I'm going to completely lose it.

Haven't people told you before?? V E R Y, not w. V. The english W is an ooah sound, whereas V is the voiced F. (F with a note from your vocal chords)

Think Ferry with a voiced F. VERY.

The way you're writing it, wery sounds like ooerry.

Ooh phonetics. But "ooah"? [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D LOL *cough* English *cough*

Megabot, if you worry about your spelling then install IeSpell. [img]smile.gif[/img] You will be able to check your spelling, not your grammar though, before you post.

Yeah, people who learn English as a second language learn all the rules of grammar, whereas most people who learn English as a second language don't. I know I have no idea about the names of certain words and the basic structure of a sentence, yet I simply know how to write one. It's the same with my German - I can speak and write it fine (though I have a little difficulty with the grammar) but I have no clue on the rules of how to structure a German sentence.
