    John's teacher, whose teaching the use of "I" in a sentence, points to John for him to cite other example on where to use "I". John said, "I... is..." But the teacher immediately interrupted and said, "No, no John. When you use 'I', the verb you only have to use is 'am', okay?" John nods. The teacher said, "now, repeat." John answered, "I... am... the 9th letter in the alphabet before 'J'." :laugh: :laugh:

      Considering the teacher can't speak English, it's no wonder he's having trouble.

        Even "is" would be wrong in this case. 'I' is the ninth letter in the alphabet; it is the first letter before 'J'. The ninth letter before 'J' would be 'A'. :rolleyes:

          Isn't it amazing what punctuation - or the lack thereof - can accomplish? :laugh: Let's eat Grandma! ;)

                What a man and his horse do behind close doors is no ones business except the subscribers to their site.

                Don't comment your code - it was hard to write, it should be hard to read!

                  It's because the teacher limits herself to her discussion only, which is, the pronoun I and the verb 'am'. :laugh:
