Guest  +  56328 Sat, 20 Nov 04 11:37 AM Dear friends; "Am" is usually preceded by "I", but, can it be suppressed? That is to say, is the below sentence correct? "I work fulltime but am free on weekends." In the other hand, is there any case that allow to use "I" in lower case (i)? Thank you! Guest

(2) On the other hand, there is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE for writing the first person singular pronoun in lower case. It is the work of illiterates, and lazy ones to boot.
