Lowercase i's
From Homestar Runner Wiki
In many instances of text on the official site, lowercase i's appear where they normally wouldn't. This originated with Strong Bad's handwriting; the font used (ahnberghand) has no capital i, so any time Strong Bad needs to write one, it ends up being lowercase. The most famous instance is in dragon, where he labels his drawing TROGDOR the BURNiNATOR. We also see Strong Bad's handwriting throughout every issue of Teen Girl Squad. Over time, Strong Bad's handwriting was used more and more, and the lowercase i was seen more frequently. Then at some point it crossed over to other fonts. It soon became evident that The Brothers Chaps decided to make most uppercase i 's lowercase, no matter what font was being used, as an inside joke.
