Who talks like this?

[TrickyBob]

"I am so tired, so I am"

My husband, that's who. He claims he learned it in grammar class. Wtf? It doesn't make sense. So you are what? Tired? You've already said that. 

The scary part is, I believe he learned this in school, based on other things people say around here. Which means there are hundreds of grown adults out there who think this is normal.



This isn't normal, right? 

[olegregg]

How..dramatic?

[CurlyQ284]

It almost sounds like Yoda but not quite

[TrickyBob]

lol. I'm convinced he means to say "I am so tired, I am". That makes more sense but he insists on the second "so".

Now he won't discuss it with me anymore, haha.


*Please note, this is purely for conversation. I'm not upset about how my husband doesn't understand sentences.

Weirdos do, so they are.

My feelings exactly. 

People around here also say "it is all" or "I'm all", this drives me batty. I suck at grammar and words but how is something all? All what? Is it all gone? Are you all done? I need you to finish what you are saying!

[polka]

I feel sorry for your husband.

Backwoods Central, PA. We even have our mini Bible belt and if the view and open country weren't amazing, I'd move. To a more educated area.

Your husband sounds like a guide at Williamsburg. lol
Ok, I know i'm a freak, but what do you say when someone says "who's there?" or "who is it?" I say "it is I"; my friend says "it's me'.

Lol. I say "it's me" or "it's Meg". "It is I" is cracking me up. So regal. 

[TrickyBob]

@cse1960 I say "it's me" or "it's just me" or "it's Bob"

Somehow, imagining you saying "it is I" just seems normal.

I feel regal when I say it.  lol it's proper grammar, it just sounds, well, stuffy. My dad would kill me if i said it any other way. 

"'Tis I, Lady Sue Sue."

 Make up a title for yourself. "Tis I, Queen Sue Sue of ML!"

If someone calls and asks to speak to Copper, I always say "this is she." I feel like it sounds kind off stuffy also, but its what my mom always said and it just comes out automatically. 

[elleblue]

"I am so tired, so I am
I am too tired for green eggs and ham". 

[elleblue]

I was taught to say "this is she" when answering the phone too. I thought that was typical? (If a bit old fashioned/proper)

I know a kid with "I am that I am" tattooed on his arm....I guess it's biblical....?


Idontgetit.

I thought "I (y)am what I (y)am" came from Popeye? lol

[sushi]

Not only do I say "this is she" I also ask "with whom am I speaking?" when someone calls without identifying. (This happens with my job a lot. People call and ask for an appt without telling me who the fuck they are. I can't read minds, people) I almost always have to repeat with "who is this" since I'm not in a state known for grammar.

[dirtyred]

I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them Sam I Am.
