I'm not trying to take away your title, Mark, but shouldn't it be "Actually, it's usually I"? The "I" is not the object of "It's" (which would require the objective case); rather, "I" is simply renaming the "It's" (which requires the nominative case).

Just my two cents,

Mr. Context Guy

Chuck --

Are you a friend of I. M. Shirley Wright? I've been missing her and wondering where she went.

You're right - this situation is my biggest weakness.

BTW, I never said I was a correct grammar guy!

LMAO!! Oh, man, talk about weaseling out of a tight spot!! That's too funny. Apply this to other situations. .

Afraid not, Juulie. I don't know that name, sorry. Why would you think I was a friend of hers?

She was, at one time, the "Staff Grammarian" for Click and Clack. She used to have a few minutes every week and I kind of miss her. Weren't you the Click and Clack fan on here a few weeks ago?

Well, at least I've heard of "Cah Tawk". But I don't listen to it. (My dad does, tho.)

Shoot, I had begun to think you were my long-lost twin brother!! I will guess that if you ever do listen, you'll be as addicted as I am. Although it will never be the same since I. M. Shirley Wright is gone.
