Why do you use capital I?

It's very simple really. This actually comes from print. When early typographers were setting print for the first time in English (especially for The Bible) they did not think that a small, one letter word was large enough to be legible. The transition is quite easily seen in very early printings, where at first i is not capitalized and has extra space given to it, then gradually it is capitalized and has no extra space. Not sure why the transition was made, but it stuck!
