Usage notes
The word I is always capitalised in written English. Other forms of the pronoun, such as me and my, follow regular English capitalisation rules.
I is the subject (nominative) form, as opposed to me, which is the objective (accusative and dative) form. Me is also used emphatically, like French moi. In some cases there are differing views about which is preferred. For example, the traditional rule followed by some speakers is to use I as the complement of the copula (It is I), but it is now more usual to choose me 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 say John and I than I 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 say I am happy, we say John and I are happy, but since we say Jenny saw me, so we say Jenny saw John and me. However, one frequently hears John and me are happy, which is traditionally seen as a case error. Similarly, probably as a hypercorrected reaction to this, one can occasionally hear phrases like Jenny saw John and I.

By the Late Reverend and Learned Mr Thomas Boston, Minister of the Gospel at Etterick. In Two Volumes.

There are by their means two I’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.
en w:Henry Ward Beecher Paul The Great Bible Renowns 1873 45 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 two I’s that are fighting. The inside I is arrayed against the outside I; and the outside has the advantage.”

Etymology
For the origin of /e/, see gmw-cfr E.
/i/ is from Middle High German gmh i in open syllables; in Ripuarian from ī before velars.
/iː/ is from gmh ī before non-velars in Ripuarian; from ē in Ripuarian and northern Moselle Franconian; from ie, üe in southern Moselle Franconian; from æ (œ) in some dialects.
Pronunciation

gmw-cfr letter German-based
gmw-cfr letter Dutch-based
Usage notes
In the German-based spelling, /e/ is usually represented by gmw-cfr E (see there).
2 Use of the digraph IE
In the German-based spelling, long i is generally written ie except when the German cognate has /iː/ as well and spells it i. Either spelling may be used in the following cases:
when the German cognate has only one vowel letter: gmw-cfr Kies, gmw-cfr Kis (German de Käse);
at the beginning of a word: gmw-cfr ielig, gmw-cfr ilig (German de eilig).
In the Dutch-based spelling, both short /i/ and long /iː/ are generally written ie except when the Dutch cognate has /i/ and spells it i. The short vowel is optionally indicated in open syllables by doubling the following consonant: gmw-cfr piemmele, gmw-cfr piemele.
