minus-squareTwiglet@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up8·18 hours 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.

minus-squarenaught101@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-219 hours 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-squareRememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·2 days agoHope so. That would be far better.
