"I'm I'm

Contraction of I am.

Our Living Language Speakers of some scattered varieties of American English sometimes use I'm instead of I've or I have in present perfect constructions, as in like a cemetery cemetery, name used by early Christians to designate a place for burying the dead. First applied in Christian burials in the Roman catacombs, the word cemetery came into general usage in the 15th cent. , I'll I'll

Contraction of I will.

I'll I will or I shall
I'll will ~shall take anything," said Tom DeLay at a GOP fundraiser in March.
