I didn't cheat I promise! I was waiting for you.
Thank you for translating
I did... I'll walk myself to the tomato pillory, though please don't use potatoes or other hard implements of shaming like last time

"This kind of I should only be used for the word I"

This is literally the first time I've ever heard of the idea that serifs should be contextually be added or removed from a character. Even went and grabbed some actual dead-tree books (a few novels and a copy of Heterogenia Linguistico, which of all manga I would expect adhere to obtuse linguistic etiquette!) and all that used serif fonts used an 'I' with serifs for all capitalised instances.

I taught this when I helped Reptile Scans for the first time. But I can't actually apply this rule for all fonts. One font that I'm using that have no one stroke I is Synchro Let. I've read about this from somewhere, So I didn't made it up. And if I'm wrong, TBF, it looks neater too.

tips : some fonts have one stroke for the uppercase I use | for the crossbar one.

It could be a hand-lettering rule that went by the wayside with computerised lettering, it's just something I've never even heard of or can recall seeing used. Maybe this is mainly a US comics lettering 'rule' that others ignore?

Probably, I apply it to my releases just because it looks neater. Just like how I edit the texts to be "slimmer", I think slimmer text looks neater and works better with manga scanlation as manga's bubble usually more horizontally longer.
