When I become, as is my destiny, god-emperor of the world, all people using the Latin alphabet will be, under pain if death, forbidden to put a dot on a capital letter I.
The penalty will be extensive to family members if a capital J is dotted.
Good luck dealing with Turkey, then – In Turkish, “I” (lower case “ı”) and “İ” (lower case “i”) stand for completely different sounds.
For instance, the name of the city of Istanbul is properly written “İstanbul”, with a dotted “I”.
Also, what will you do with Dutch “IJ”, which is considered a single vowel and can often be seen dotted? (although, true, it is sometimes written as a “y” with dots, thus: “ÿ”)
In what languages other than Turkish and Dutch does this occur? I’ve never seen it in English.
Oh, I didn’t care about whether it happens in English or not. Mostly because he said “All people using the Latin alphabet”, and Turkish and Dutch most definitely use the Latin alphabet…
I guess there must be other languages where dotted-I is used, but those are the two that first jumped into my mind…
OK, after checking, I can see that other Turkic languages, when written with the latin alphabet, used dotted and dotless I:
Azerbaijani (officially written in the Latin alphabet) has dotted and dotless I.
Tatar and Kazakh, although written in Cyrillic for the most part, have also alternative Latin alphabetizations that use dotted and dotless I.
Okay, Turks and Dutch will be in my list when I come to power, they’ll learn the hard way…
More seriously, I’m aware of the the prescence of dotted/undotted I and I should’ve qualified my rage.
You know who you can kill for me, while you’re at it?
People who use all capital letters except for a lower-case L. What is up with that shit?
Don’t know about elsewhere, but this board’s software will take an all-caps post and reformat it to sentence case. It is necessary to use tricks like substituting a lower-case L for an upper-case I if you want to have a post that appears to be all-caps.
SO JUST USE A WHITEDOUT SMALL letter
Wikipedia says: Azerbaijani and Crimean Tatar both use it in Latin, sometimes Cyrillic scripts are used. Kazakh and Tatar are written in Cyrillic, but rarely in Latin, where the dotted/dotless comes into play. Irish in very rare times will remove the dot when a certain script is used. Many of these very likely influenced by Turkish except Irish which is a way old script. Although note that the modern Turkish alphabet dates to only the late 1920s.
I wanna piss of the OP. Does anyone know if there’s Unicode for an i with a heart instead of the dot? 
Clearly, several nukings from orbit are called for.
You want a piss of the OP? You mean like a urine sample?
I don’t think using whiteout would really help much…
Must…resist…fixing that for you…
When I become god-emperor I’ll fix YOU
that’s a d1fferent trick.
Edit. Well, whaddaya know. Both Nava’s quoted words and my unquoted ones were small-letter-ified. The arms race is heating up.
If the OP hates the dotted capital I, what will he think when he finds out what Tiếng Việt (i.e., Vietnamese) has done to the poor Latin alphabet – dots and squiggles in every direction.
I have never seen a dotted capital I. However, I detest sans serif fonts that don’t distinguish between a capital I and a lower case l. There have been people who have mistaken Kim Jong Ill as Kim Jong the third because of this.
See the difference? Ill vs. Ill in Arial
Neither do I, and I hate it.
Oops- the Korean dude was Kim Jong Il, mistakenly called “the second”. I apologize to the multitudes of North Koreans who read my previous post.
It’s Camp 22 for you, me lad…
Are two dots better, Ï wonder?
