Very true and it's so annoying  'Am' is an auxiliary verb...it can't start a sentence while 'I'm' is the shorter form for or an abbreviation of 'I am'. I wonder why most pple throw the 'I' away. For example: 'I am eating' shouldn't be 'am eating' cos it wouldn't make sense if u shorten 'she is eating' to 'is eating'  387 Likes 25 Shares |

Shey? For your mind?! You should have mentioned few....... They use that probably coz it's on social media which is not a formal writing. 47 Likes 2 Shares |
