Google has a very fun tool out, working through a dataset of all the words from the books they have scanned.
It's great fun to check on different spellings! (I still prefer connexion, who cares if it pretty much died out in 1860)
And you can search for multiple things. I think this graph says something about the type of books that are out there. 'You' is just like a smoothed out curve of 'I', and 'me' is a slightly smoother 'you', but the proportions stay pretty consistent.
Check it out for yourself, very fun.
