Welcome to the forum. "I" should be capitalized. - rac1, Aug 24, 2013

"I" the pronoun should always be capitalized. Spanish should always be capitalized. The word "Please" begins a sentence and needs to be capitalized. The word "don't" has an apostrophe after "n". This is a language learning forum not "Facebook" or "Google" - Jubilado, Aug 24, 2013

Mexican should always be capitalized. People use this site to learn English (perhaps something you would like to do) as well as Spanish. - Jubilado, Aug 24, 2013

Answer 4

I have consulted an English dictionary, and I withdraw this post. Please ignore the following. A nickname means calling someone "Stevie" if his name is Stefano or Steven, "Mandy" for Amanda, and so on. What others have suggested so far are to express affection, flattery, amusement, etc.
