Aren't I

The incorrect way of asking "Am I not?"

"Aren't I" is incorrect because you are not supposed to use the word "are" in the first-person singular (present tense) but rather the word "am."

For example, you DO NOT say "I ARE going to the party," but rather "I AM going to the party." If you say "I ARE going to the party" you are using the word "are" in the first-person singular instead of the word "am" which is incorrect. In the same way, when you say "Aren't I" you are using "are" in the first-person singular when you should be using "am." Thus "Aren't I?" is incorrect.

Another example: "I'm still invited to your party, aren't I?" This is WRONG because this person has used "are" in the first-person singular. He or she should have used "am" instead. It would have been correct if this person had instead asked, "I'm still invited to your party, am I not?" or "I'm still invited to your party, right?"

For those who are still unconvinced, remember that I have given grammatical and logical reasons as to why "Aren't I?" is incorrect. If you still want to argue that it is correct just because a lot of people tend to use it then I would point out to you that your argument is an ad populum argument. Just because a lot of people might believe something is correct that does not in and of itself make it correct. A lot of people used to believe the world was flat but that did not make them right. No, they were still wrong, just as people who think "Aren't I?" is correct are still wrong even if there might be a lot of them who think it is correct.

there's no i in team

Phrase used to mean, "Teamwork takes priority over individual achievement; we win as a team & we lose as a team."

There may not be an "I" in "team..." switch around a few letters and there's a "me," though! It's all about ME!

I

Doritos, I probably should leave
As it never worked out…
I am only there

To possibly see you..
And now my schedule is crazy

I don’t even have time to yell 4.
I do smile at the thought of what I would say..
If you walked through the door..
Many questions, I would like to ask
But I would be happy with a glance…
In your eyes…
To see
As I would get the answers I seek.
But I would probably just say
How was your day…

I would love to say
Did you know I love πŸ’— you everyday
