Pennies from heaven: zorched in Zealand.


Keep your feet on the ground and reach for the stars. So trite, so true. 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
 always looking up even though I know what it's it's  

1. Contraction of it is.

2. Contraction of it has. See Usage Note at its.


it's it is or it has
it's be ~have
 like on the dark downs. Millions of miles, millions of smiles take me there and I'll I'll  

Contraction of I will.


I'll I will or I shall
I'll will ~shall
 show you how stabbed up side down.
