Honestly, I find it so disgusting, everywhere you look now, even amongst the so-called educated ones, the use of the simple word "I'm" has been annoyingly replaced with "Am"

you keep seeing things like:

How are you: Am fine
Am considering venturing into online biz
Am not sure I'll make it
That's the type of phone am using
showbiz is good but am more into politics....

Please, what is so damn hard about typing "i'm" as opposed to"am". More so nowadays when almost every keyboard has a spell checker function
A lot of people who might claim its just for chats short cut purposes have gotten so used to it they even use it in formal contexts. Is illiteracy being taken to a brand new level in our country or is it perhaps classier now to speak English wrongly or better still, are we forming a new brand of English??

It's appear more easier to type...



So what's the error?

Have you heard about what is called "Nigerian English"?

if you Dont see the error then ........

if you want to speak English then speak English, and if you want to speak your local dialect then do so, its not all about looking for easier to type shortcuts, but speaking the right thing.

Sometimes, one gets confused as to the actual meaning of a sentence when wrong words are used in it

I noticed that too, however internet vernacular isn't supposed to be perfect.

Well, they are that ignorant.
Especially the ladies.
When we try to inform them that speaking in a strange accent does not imply speaking proper English, they roll their eyes.
