Sermwell:

You left the help I requested for and delve into something else! please profer help if you have any.

Do you know how many children you are about to mislead?

Kriss216:
Hope you gave someone the books for review? This one I’m seeing “I’m” instead of “Am”.

You are the olodo here.
So you want him use 'am' instead of the right contraction of 'l am'.
Which school did you attend?

StarTech1:
Bro, the OP's topic was "I'm I being cheated?" which Kriss was correcting him for and it's like everyone was crucifying him for it.
The Mods just edited the topic now to "Am I being cheated?". Well no one is above mistake tho

Sorry na misunderstanding.I see things clearly now....

Sermwell:
I intend publishing some books on basic phonics for nursery and primary pupils. I had already typed the and visited someone on my street for arranging the work before printing.
I was asked to pay 3k to format each work before any other thing. The charges are as follows:

1. formatting 3k each
2. back cover 1k each
3. ISBN no. 7k each
4. printing #400 each. About 70 pages

I'm printing 6 different books but I have a strong feeling that I'm being cheated as I don't have any experience regarding how much these things cost. please I need to know if I'm being cheated. Please help me out. Thank you.

Bro I'm into book publishing contact me via DM, we print, publish, design books and printing jobs in quantity.

Kriss216:

Author, sorry o. I don’t have any help. You and aunty merieam want to kill me for the little help I rendered.

Find out from others too,more than 3 different places y would nursery books cost that mach how much are u going to sell to d pupils

DemonInvoker:

Alright bro

You are being cheated. From the printing point. Even if u print DI, aingle page, its still N25 prt page and not 400. So, if you are using offset press(impression), it should be much cheaper, tho they charge per thousand impressions, per color.

Look at you trying to form English professor meanwhile it's you that made mistake...it's I'm ...as in "I AM"...Re read his English again with I am and see if he's not correct

Modified

Sorry sir just read that you were correcting the title, seems he changed it

Igbodicool:

You are the olodo here.

Calm down, the OP is asking a question, so he cant use the contraction, I'm. He has to use 'Am' as the subject of his sentence.

Now, we are the ones to ask you which school.you attended.

Yes, the quotation is on the high side.
I published two books and none costs more than 300 a copy and each has 310 pages.
1. Do the formatting by yourself.
2. Design your cover page and send to them.
3. Go to National Library and collect your ISBN at the rate of N1800 per book
4. 70 pages printed on 60 gram should not be more than N150 @ min of 1000 copies.

It's clear that the topic heading was a mistake since the post content actually have the correct grammar. Nawa for all this grammar Nazi sha

But he used 'am' in the interrogative sentence why the fuss?

Chanchit:



Had it been you are in Lagos, I would have helped out. Depending on the quantity. I would print everything, excluding ISBN which I can also get for you at a way lower price. You can still send me an email anyway. It's possible, since people print from China, Lagos is not that far.

I need ISBN for a book am about to publish, can you assist me, and how much?

merieam16:
Op, try go to other shops so has to know the actual price .Obviously, Nairlander has left d help u need and they are talking about ur grammer as if they are perfect either

Is it wrong to correct someone again ?

Some people just love to make a mountain out of mole hill. Someone is asking for help, but instead of proffering a solution, they are wasting nairaland pages arguing over am and I'm

whirlwind7:


Crass olodo.
The proper use of I'm and Am has been dealt with so much, anyone who fancies himself as educated and still can't realize when to use which, should go back for a re-education.

Note: "I'm" is the short form of "I am"
So, instead of saying "I am coming", you could say, "I'm coming".....not "am coming"

Edit the Post please
You are disgracing yourself

If I get well, each book will cost you 11,400 naira to produce?

I don't really understand.

The person I met was asking me to pay 7k for each ISBN but someone here said I can get it at the national library for #1,800 for each.

Madibah:

Take it to any tertiary institute close to you and get it more cheaper there. If you dey for Lagos, go to yabatech or Lasu.

ITK

I'm is the contraction of “I am”, whereas am is simply the verb with no pronoun before it. ... Proper English requires the pronoun before the verb. Using the contraction (I'm) is the less formal (but still correct) way to say it.
