“K”

“I’m baby”?

Did she mean “I’m busy”?

If so this is messed up.

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 64 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I thought maybe it's "I am, baby"

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

yeah, auto correct too "i m baby" and made it I'm baby

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ahh.. That clears it up.

[–] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Isn't I'm literally "I am"?

[–] rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The missing comma is what makes it mistakable

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm, baby. Still doesn't seem right even if it technically is.

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I 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.

Yep, it's called a clitic, and you can't put emphasis on it the same way you would if you used the full word

TIL, thanks! Funny word 😂

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Me too, I hope

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Hope so. That would be far better.

[–] Twiglet@feddit.uk 10 points 4 days ago

I'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.

[–] BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Hopefully she was rushing home - maybe driving? - and couldn't text well?

"K", and "I am baby"?

[–] rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 days ago

She is a baby. I guess she was on some good stuff.
