JayRise: I like what you just said, it is not enough to realise that there is a problem, you have to proffer solutions as well... And just as the OP finds others at fault on one thing, he/she is also at fault on another, so we cannot just point out the problem, it will only seem that we are trying to be abase. |

JayRise: ok. Keep touching the problem without giving a solutionu said it all. I was even expecting to see tweet of right and wrong example from d op that open d thread or the twitter dude but either way, none of them was able to solve a thing, instead they created more problem. If i am on twitter (where number of letters are limited) and "i'm" instead of "i am" can save me d day. Why wouldn't i go for "i'm" when i have nothing to lose. |

Hokay. "Ayam heating yam" should replace "am eating yam" then. Since we're in yam eating season #NationalCakeSharing. |

horexy: Contrary to to your interpretation, 'am' can start a sentence; an example is already in your post. "Am is an auxiliary verb." .... There 'am' started a sentence; just some technicalities that exists. For fun. 1 Like |

[quote author=horexy post=41069560] Very true and it's so annoying 'Am' is an auxilliary 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' [/quote Ontop 40 wey u & op manage score for GNS, na now una know say I'm & Am no be the same thing enh? |

horexy:C, d truth is dat many of them only use it to type msgs or make comments online not that they dnt understnd d usage. I think we ar all guilty of it one way or d other. Som pple wl type 'were' in place of 'we are' in dis case, u wl discovered dat pple are just too lazy to insert (') in between. There ar numerous instances like dat. U knw, if uar d type dat tweets, u wl need minimum words to express ur views; daz one of d reasons dat gave birth to all dis shortcut. |
