it's grammatically correct to say 'I' in all those cases

I disagree with the points you're making there katie1997. You're simply unable to understand the concept I'm trying to explain.

I meant it as in burke but without the 'r' sound (hard to spell if you think about it)- Same goes for cook, look etc.


I have no problem with 'luke' or any other genuinely accent/region derived pron. but when people pronounce it as though they were 5 years old and fail to rhyme book with rook (I know, that doesn't really help)it grates.


If this thread had said 'tiny little things that cause you rational rage' I would go further. But it doesn't. So I won't.

tallulah, it is you know: I = subject, me = object


I assume you meant "Rose21...No, it isn't"? If you're going to get all bloody nora about it, at least direct your ire not at the person who's agreeing with you.
