minus-square@RememberTheApollo_link80•edit-21 month ago“K” “I’m baby”? Did she mean “I’m busy”? If so this is messed up.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish16•1 month agoyeah, auto correct too “i m baby” and made it I’m baby
minus-square@Chocrateslink3•1 month agoI’m, baby. Still doesn’t seem right even if it technically is.
minus-square@naught101link2•edit-21 month agoI would say it’s technically wrong, because the am is where the emphasis sits, and you wouldn’t contract an emphasised word. But yeah, that still seems like the best interpretation of intention in this case.

minus-square@BananaTrifleViolinlinkEnglish10•1 month agoHopefully she was rushing home - maybe driving? - and couldn’t text well? “K”, and “I am baby”?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink10•1 month agoI’m guessing it’s supposed to be “I am, baby” (in response to ‘are you coming home’) but written in a panicked haste. Anyone thinking she’d have the time or calm to properly spell check before sending when her kid’s in danger is delusional.

“K”
“I’m baby”?
Did she mean “I’m busy”?

I thought maybe it’s “I am, baby”
yeah, auto correct too “i m baby” and made it I’m baby
Ahh… That clears it up.
Isn’t I’m literally “I am”?
The missing comma is what makes it mistakable

Hope so. That would be far better.
Me too, I hope
