• The wordI is always capitalised in written English. Other forms of the pronoun, such asme andmy, follow regular English capitalisation rules.
• I is the subject (nominative) form, as opposed tome, which is the objective (accusative and dative) form.Me is also used emphatically, like Frenchmoi. In some cases there are differing views about which is preferred. For example, the traditional rule followed by some speakers is to useI as the complement of the copula (It is I), but it is now more usual to chooseme in this context (It's me).
• When used in lists, it is often thought better to refer to oneself last. Thus it is more natural to sayJohn and I thanI and John. In such lists, the traditional rule is to use the same case form one would choose if there were only one pronoun. Thus, since we sayI am happy, we sayJohn and I are happy, but since we sayJenny saw me, so we sayJenny saw John and me. However, one frequently hearsJohn and me are happy, which is traditionally seen as a case error. Similarly, probably as ahypercorrected reaction to this, one can occasionally hear phrases likeJenny saw John and I.

     They are calledmen, becauſe each of them poſſeſſeth the whole man, though not wholly. There are by their means twoI’s in every believer,Rom. vii. 15.For that which I do,I allow not: for what I would,that do I not; but what I hate,that do I. There is not one part of the man that is in Chriſt, but grace has a part of it, and corruption has a part of it: as in the twilight there is light over all, and darkneſs over all too, the darkneſs being mixed in every part with the light. So my renewed part is I, a man having an underſtanding enlightened, a will renewed, affections ſpiritualized, uſing my body conform: but my unrenewed part is I too, having an underſtanding darkened, a will rebellious, affections corrupted, and uſing my body accordingly.

   • 1873,Henry Ward Beecher, “Paul”, inThe Great Bible Renowns, page45:

     In other words, he said: “I have two natures. I have a flesh nature, an outside nature, and that keeps sinning; and then I have another nature—an inside, a spiritual nature—and that does not like sinning; and with my heart-power, my conscience-power, my love-power, with the power of the divine element that is in me, I look and see what this body outside, which clothes me, is trying to do. And here are twoI’s that are fighting. The insideI is arrayed against the outsideI; and the outside has the advantage.”
