Interesting Cultural Differences

I live in an area of Virginia that has a high population of recent immigrants, especially Hispanics. Today, during a program at a local women's group meeting the speaker discussed cultural differences and how to better communicate with people who are not born and raised in America.

One of the most thought-provoking statements she made was, "Do you know that the English language is the only one in which the word for 'I' is a capital letter?" She attributed this to the fact that Americans are centered on ourselves whereas people from other cultures think of themselves as "we" (part of a group, family, etc.).

Everyone at the meeting found this quite enlightening. What do you think?
