To HATE it when people use am instead of I'm?

[Itsonme]

I absolutely cannot stand this!

For example when people say 'am so excited'

It's appalling English and bugs the utter crap out of me!

That would be cruel, DM. And wrong. And I may have to start calling you by the other "DM" moniker.

Is this thread actually some kind of viral X-Factor advertising campaign?

Was just wondering the very same. Maybe the OP is Simon Cowell?

I hate the word 'boobs' too. So can we ban it?

I think we are in the moral minority, pointy.

OP must be Simon

Hangs around only in AIBU being aggressive
Refuses to even hear when they might be wrong
Turns out that in the end, they were right and everyone else was wrong

If the OP has a chest wig then it's a sure thing.

OP, you really mustn't feel obliged to keep tearing yourself away from The X-Factor just to post again on this li'l old thread. That you started. To correct people and feel superior.

Busy - Wouldn't it be great if it was?

I don't actually like the x-factor, it's so distinctly un-stimulating and repetitive that I thought it would probably remind me alot of this thread, but with a little extra humour. This thread is oh so serious.....

I was going to watch the X Factor..but this thread is much more entertaining

Is Simon Cowell hairy? I've only ever seen him in v high-necked things. He's a very odd looking man.

Anyway, pointy's with me. Where do the rest of you stand on "boobs"?

Oh Tippy, nothing better to do than trawl through my posts :(

Getting tedious now. I honestly wish I could have a day being so supremely blinkered and confident in my own amazing right-ness. It must be fun.

Tippy - I want to know how you know SC's hair isn't his own. Have you been, ahem, intimate with him?

Laters dudes!

Bye!

Right, Tippy. fess up.

Yes Habbibu, I am Sinitta

Oh bye then! Wot larks eh? You are a one.

I knew it. Your ex-pop star aura is just too compelling. So, do the trousers actually hide an odd shaped posterior? And will you be having a comeback?

Why thank you.
The trousers are to hide a low slung 3rd nipple
Comeback? you cheeky mare, I never went away. All together now so macho......

3rd nipple? Is that what he calls it? Well, itsonme may have been right - that must have been quite disappointingly dull. And not v macho at all...

Do people really speak in sentences that begin with "Am"?

I've only ever come across it on internet forums, so it's written rather than spoken.

I have to admit to occasionally using "am " at the start of a sentence when I'm writing on a forum.

I find that, otherwise, some praragraphs can only be easily constructed in a manner where every sentence begins with "I".

I understand that using "I" at the start of a sentence would, in most cases, be grammatically preferable.

I am, however, conscious that if you start every sentence with "I" then you appear a bit self-centred.

Like this.

Using "am" at the beginning is less obvious, and is handy for quick informal responses.

Of course she was right. Did you not learn anything?

He was macho. And orange. Like a hunky Oompa Loompa.

Am going to say that YABU

I saw Simon's face on the top bit of a newspaper front page in a shop today. He's so shiny now. I know he's been a Botox fiend for ages but really, it's like he is made of wax nowadays.

I used to sometimes, just a little bit, kind of get why some people fancied him (yy OK, perhaps IWBU). But now that he is all packed with Juvederm, etc, no way in hell.

Same with Gordon Ramsay, actually.

Isn't GR the opposite - like a picture of Dorian Grey for SC?

SC's hair is so strange - i mean, he must go to a really expensive hairdresser, and that's the best they can do?
