    The verb to be is intransative and, as such, does not take the objective noun form
    but the subjective as a predicate. This is why it is grammatically correct to say 'this is he'
    rather than 'this is him.' It sounds funny because everyone says it wrong, but grammatically,
    it is a perfectly fine sentence.

    And, yes, 'I' is not a proper noun.

    Just off the top of my head, how's:

    'T' it.

    Hmmm, provacative, as well!

    Hmmmm, does the "Edit" link on your posts go away after a certain amount of time? Because I can't even edit my post now to correct the misspelling of "provocative". Bah.

    Cute. 🙂

    And congratulations, Mr. Bowmann! I knew, given enough time, you could compose a reply that was actually helpful...

    (kinda like the 100 monkeys theory, I guess...)
