    May I ask why you capitalize “You” and “Your”? Does that come from a region/language I’m unfamiliar with, or just a personal style choice?

      It’s how we write in Polish. I always thought English is the same. I always write this way.

        I love learning about other languages! I grew up in US American schools, so my knowledge is based on US American English, but for pronouns (I/me, you, he/she/they, etc.), I was taught that only “I” is capitalized, unless the pronoun is referring to a deity. I have no clue why it is that way… English is weird and full of inconsistencies!

          In Polish We capitalise the second person (You, Your). We do not capitalise the first or third, unless referring to a deity. And, as with everything, we have around 10 forms of “Your”.
