Quick question because I have seen multiple messages instances of this grammar usage in the last six months from 20 somethings in various settings and it has boggled my mind. Since when has usage of “I’s” become acceptable grammar? I was taught to use the word “my” in this context. Did I miss some change in English grammar rules?

Sorry about that, should be fixed. Thanks for keeping me honest!

No worries and please don’t feel like I am picking on you. I legitimately was wondering because I have seen it used that way at least a half a dozen times over the last six months including in business communication by a junior member of my team who used it in an email to our Chief Credit Officer. I was wondering if the grammar rules had changed and I was oblivious.

In I’s opinion, @mshelton33 has nothing to apologize for. While he predicted a loss, it was well reasoned and fair to our team.

I PREDICT… we’ll do better than last season against Nebraska. It is hard to fathom us playing that poorly again. Go Cats!
