I Will Stop Writing If I Don’t Win Nobel Prize – Ebhodaghe (2) (3) (4)
Stop Writing ‘am’. It Is ”I'm’ by Divepen1(m): 8:08am On Aug 09, 2015 |
I was going to hibernate as I landed on this hard bed when I tried to snoop at some pages and blogs with hope that I would snooze off as I go through the articles and stories. That was when I noticed that many people have started replacing the phrase I am with 'am'. Please am is a verb which is used after the personal pronoun ' I'; there by, making the combination a noun phrase. Am is an auxiliary verb for God sake and not you. Or a character in a story. I'm sure many have written it in exams and interviews. I'm enjoining you to stop. Many started using it online, saying it's just in the informal setting but it's affecting them now. Correct it while you still can Lite Helps https://litehelp./2015/08/08/stop-writing-am-it-is-im/ 3 Likes 2 Shares |

I'm tired of reading that. It's a major pet peeve for me. Thankfully, it doesn't annoy me anymore. |

OP...Thanks for the piece. Before I hardly spot the difference between the two words. I always take it that "I'm" is the contraction of "Am" meanwhile I don't that there's a vast difference between the two words |
