I hope you know that's how Adele got her lyrics.

"Hello, it's me" wink

"It is i"

This should be the correct reply.


"Me" is used as an object which doesn't fit in.

The English we use daily here in Nigeria ain't it.

You see someone putting on a rumpled cloth(raiment) and you ask," don't you have a pressing iron? "


The correct words should be "do you own an iron"

You see someone say,"i am going to barber my head"

It should be " i am heading to the barber's shop to have my hair trimmed, cut, shaved..etc


The main point is to understand the message the speaker is passing grin grin
