Mari-lou, there's a lot to discuss, and I thought it'd go better here in chat than in comments

You gave a link: Why doesn't the English language have distinct words to use when talking to elders? but what is that supposed to help me answer (which of my points does it correspond to)?

Also, your question is asking so many things, and your comments/responses to me sound like you're looking for an answer to a question which is not stated there. (like that link about pronouns: Indian language may have lots of pronouns which show respect-grades in comparison to English, but ostensibly your question is written to ask about if Indians write 'i' instead of 'I' usually.

Is the idea you have that Indians will want to write 'i' when talking to someone more respectful, and 'I' when talking to someone less respectful (like a sort of written T-V distinction)?

@Mitch I agree with this. She is formulating a phantom hypothesis and hoping the answers may confirm her bias.

Agree.

I agree with your agreement.

Concur.

It would be weird if I didn't. Possible but weird

D'accord.

I agree despite not knowing with what I'm agreeing.

Alles klar

@GeorgePompidou Oh, then you're totally in agreement.

De acuerdo en cueros.

alles in Ordnung?

sure, that too

@Mitch Well, not exactly. But she does put her shoulder against the good will of the populace from time to time.

Wishing to shove us in a particular direction against our will. It's like she's exorcising language demons of some kind.

Or trying to.

@Mitch I saw that. you accidentally conjugated in English!

conjugator!

gross. I feel like that's like being some kind of pervert or pederast.

@GeorgePompidou wait, what language should I be conjugating in?

feels more like I should see a doctor. gross just the same

the core of my accusation was that you should not be conjugating in English

perhaps I highlighted the wrong word

but matters it not

I'm going to play with my new Füllhalter.

I have a question regarding the interpretation of an excerpt from a novel (specifically why reference was made to a particular writer). Is this sort of literary question on-topic or should it be posted elsewhere?

Nevermind - just read the help center...
