Ah, you have posed a philosophical question, my friend. Whatever its grammatical connotations, this singular word, "I", has been the cause of much agony to humankind down the ages. Philosophers have invested entire lifetimes dissecting "I" from the concept of "egoism" and studying the latter in minute detail. But all they have managed to come up with are treatises which drove their publishers to poverty, bankruptcy, and suicide. To my humble, overawed mind, it is better to get on with the job of living for a living, and leave profound issues such as these to the more enlightened who surf the stratosphere as a matter of routine.
