    Note

    The first-person present of be, folded onto its pronoun so the two run together as one word. It belongs to conversation and relaxed writing and seldom appears in formal academic prose. It replaces only the everyday verb phrase. When I am becomes a name, either for God as self-existent or for a self-centered, arrogant person, or when it is used as a cry of solidarity, the full form stays.
