Cuppy was supposed to say ''I am'' but she said ''Am''...I dont see anything wrong with her shortening out the word ''I''..I may be wrong.....
Some of you need to take it easy how you correct people especially when you are not any better.. Awon I too knows..some things are allowed please...She isnt in a board room meeting and even if she is wrong,isnt she allowed to be wrong? ''Am'' out! *side eyes*
If it written sentences in informal settings aren't corrected, they have a way of seeping into the formal setting...who then will look stupid? The 'correcter' or the 'correctee'.
Stella y re u like this. Sometimes u dey confuse me i swear. Werent u d one who warned bvs in d days of free advert IHN to write properly? U say d tin dey hard u comprehend n if I renember clearly dis misuse of 'am' 4 I am was one of ur eg. Today u nor see anutin wrong.
No I don't "get". 'Um' does not exist. Neither is 'Am' an interchangeable replacement for the contraction "I'm" which is short for 'I am'. So maybe it's you who does not know the difference between I'm and Am.
PG 18 Yeah right, nothing wrong in correcting her, but when the correcter adds up her social status(wealth) to his correction signifies HATE and JEALOUSY. ASHAWO WAS 1's A VIRGIN.
1st off it is not an abbreviation or short form. It's just improper use Second, people actually carry it into the "board room". I had a subordinate bring a report for me to vet for him and he typed "am of the opinion" what?! Best not to get used to it @ all.
Nigerians speaking more English than the British. Yet their country is a rubbish dump. Maybe they need to start speaking in their native language. That foolish professor of English marking cuppy's script you will be surprised that she doesn't have a job and cannot pass a job interview. Her head is empty like kom kom.
Don't mind Stella. There is everything wrong. Once you chat me up with 'Am' instead of 'I am ' or 'I'm' I start to question your intelligence. Not to mention those kidults who type plix, dix, xup & so on... Are you even stupid?
That one pain you Quickie.. 5n, rly, kk, wt, wen, y, yea, fenks, kul etc. Anon 18:31, I'll bite a huge chunk of flesh off the most delicate part of your body.
Quickie d thing nor pain u reach me. Some re just damn annoying. Most aint even abbreviations they re just some mix of letters cos some are even longer than the original spelling.
Dummy! Everything is not about money. Something's are just about not making a fool of yourself in public by using bad grammar. Money,money,money! That's why our politicians are all thieves and your neighbour is ready to use his wife for money ritual.
Stellz....d correct short form of I am is I'm and not am. Millions of people make this mistake and it's sickening. Just the same way people misuse been and being.
It's not a board room meeting but c'mon. Gosh! I give up
I remember you posting on you blog regarding this ish that whenever blog visitors send you a mail they use "am" instead of "I am" surprised you licking ass now stella
Abi oh....this madam that is always using red marker highlight peoples grammatical errors..she has even done a post on the correct use of 'am' and 'i'am'....now she prefers selective amnesia to ignore cuppys blunder because it suits her now....š
Read with understanding..Stella used sarcasm to toy with your minds and you willingly fall for it. Don't act like you know too much if you can't read and comprehend.
Stella please don't be silly. The person correcting Cuppy was very civil sef. This is just to show how social media and the dearth of reading and proper education has totally ruined proper communication. "I'm" is the correct word if she intends to shorten "I am".
Practically every Nigerian now uses "Am" and so ignorantly too which is totally wrong. I even started to wonder if there was a memo that we are now allowed to forget capitalizing the first letter of a noun as we were taught... i.e. "i" instead of "I" irrespective of its position in a sentence, starting or within!
I insisted my younger sister never to send me texts with text speak anymore, that is, if she wants to get anything out of me. It's not wicked... when she learns the proper thing she can decide to use text speak to communicate for want of space or any other reason. Not to be embarrassed she is writing a corporate document or even an important note to some high and mighty person. She now appreciates the the proper methods.
You seldom get a clean statement from millennials not because they don't want to, they are ill equipped now. We need to really look into education o!
Na BBNaija, FB, IG and Twitter everyone wan know now... Girls no dey even read Mills & Boons again, na Kardashian-ish fame or so, so prick dem dey find and the boys; who knows James Harley Chase? Na hammer/Yahoo Yahoo tinz full their brain and those their emails sef, na so, so gbagaun. How some whites fall for those lame ass schemes amaze me!
"Am" is totally wrong no matter how you try to defend it.
"I am or I'm" remains correct, acceptable and standardized whether you're in the board room or online.
Like someone said better don't get used to these 21st century abbreviations; and that everyone is now using it doesn't mean you too should join the bandwagon.
Yes, for a "rich kid" who supposedly had the best of education outside the shores of Nigeria, such wrong usage should not be seen anywhere around her.
So make una free that guy and thank him instead for his observation.
Whatever the case may be, the way people carry simple grammatical errors on their heads is amazing. In a formal setting or environment yes it's very important to dot every "i" and cross every "t" but in an informal setting can we just breath?
Abeg, make we dey try talk better english or kuku speak pidgin jeje. These rich kids went to good schools and shouldn't be mispelling some simple words. Sentiments off.
This is wrong. E get some kin mistake pesin no suppose dey make.
'Am' is not a short form of 'I am.' 'I'm' is the short form. And what confuses people that say 'am' is the way 'I'm' is pronounced. But no matter how many people say it, 'am' can never replace 'I'm.'
It's not about boardroom meetings. I mean, you ask people not to send you mails using shorthand. This blog no be boardroom meeting na.
Abeg, what is wrong is wrong. I'm not supporting the way the person up there went about it though.
Plus the fact that humans make mistakes doesn't mean that people should stop taking corrections.
This post is the definition of the word Irony. You guys are pissed at the abuse of written English, but Na same Una no see anything wrong in a mother giving blow job on live TV. Its her her body you say, she didn't know the receiver of Blow job is married many opined, you make excuses and what not in het favour. Then you turn around and scream blue murder over a more than likely deliberate misuse of a word. Even if it wasn't deliberate, you all have shown more angst over a word than you did over a natter of morality and decency. Just negodu!
I reside in Canada and people use "Am" all the time instead of I am or I'm, it doesnt necessarily depict that she doesnt know the difference, it's called urban writing. This is social media and not an English essay class, she is allowed to use AM all she wants. I bet she can write better than most haters out there
Madam/ Mr. Canada, in a land brimming with 1st generation immigrants, many from non-English speaking countries, it is not surprising that so many Canadians speak or write poor English.

It should be I am not Am. So many people still cn't differentiate between the two.
ReplyDeleteUr right. Most people can't tell BTW d two. Even the case of "been" and "being"
DeleteOdiegwu!
DeletePeople know the difference its just that YOU do not understand that they're shortening the words. Like "Um outa here" you get?
DeleteBv TGW is guilty of been and being, she covers up with Bn, how sad.
DeleteIf it written sentences in informal settings aren't corrected, they have a way of seeping into the formal setting...who then will look stupid? The 'correcter' or the 'correctee'.
DeleteCorrections should be taken in good faith. After all, no one knows it all ba?
DeleteIn her bitterness, she even made a wrong sentence. What is "I am even rich girl like you"?
Delete' Ur right' is another grammatical blunder. It's 'you are' or 'you're'.
DeleteBankie
When it comes to an informal form of writing,i dont think there is a right or wrong way. We can only criticize it if it is used in a formal setting.
Delete@ Cara Milano, "You are" not "Ur"
DeleteAwon I too know
Stella y re u like this. Sometimes u dey confuse me i swear. Werent u d one who warned bvs in d days of free advert IHN to write properly? U say d tin dey hard u comprehend n if I renember clearly dis misuse of 'am' 4 I am was one of ur eg. Today u nor see anutin wrong.
DeleteNa wahhh
No I don't "get".
Delete'Um' does not exist. Neither is 'Am' an interchangeable replacement for the contraction "I'm" which is short for 'I am'.
So maybe it's you who does not know the difference between I'm and Am.
I don't see anything bad in correcting her. Though we all make mistakes and it's good to point out some when you see it in a subtle way.
ReplyDeleteI immediately lose respect for anyone who doesn't know when and how to use "I'm" and "am"
DeleteCorrect example. "I'm a Banker" not am a Banker.
I'm is short for I am and should never be replace with "am"
PG 18
DeleteYeah right, nothing wrong in correcting her, but when the correcter adds up her social status(wealth) to his correction signifies HATE and JEALOUSY.
ASHAWO WAS 1's A VIRGIN.
That was not a mistake, babe. It is a reflection of poor Primary school education. And that is strange considering her father's wealth.
DeleteDude is jobless and pained, for him to emphasise on "rich girl".
ReplyDeleteSilly broke ass dude
Emphasis on RICH GIRL points to the fact that she must have been opportune to attend the best schools.
Delete1st off it is not an abbreviation or short form. It's just improper use
ReplyDeleteSecond, people actually carry it into the "board room". I had a subordinate bring a report for me to vet for him and he typed "am of the opinion" what?!
Best not to get used to it @ all.
Engrish majoooorrrr
DeleteHow mush dey ur account?
It's either u use 'I am' or I'm, am is never right
DeleteAm is right when you ask questions like.. Who am I? Am I your mate? Am I right? Who am I?
DeleteSome peeps no know this one

Stella, i remember when you actually made this an issue with corrections and all. LOL.
ReplyDelete...so in the same vein, we are allowed to use "extreme end" on social media? What is wrong is totally wrong. No excuses whatsoever
ReplyDeleteWho English epppp when the girl is worth hundreds of millions.
ReplyDeleteLet the guy keep carrying better grammar when shes signing cheques
When did AM became the short form of I AM? Na wa. And Stella agree too?
ReplyDeleteAnd to think they went to the best school. May God help us.
If you want to shorten "I am", say "I'm", not "am".
ReplyDelete@Ralu M. Breathe. Not "breath". That is assuming you are referring to inhaling and exhaling.
ReplyDeleteThe one that drives me crazy is when people write "loose" when they mean "lose"
ReplyDeleteFools who don't know the definition of sarcasm are now using the word sarcasm to cover up stupidity and unintelligence. What is wrong is wrong period.
