I am well. You are doing good.

[–]Joe-ologist 3 points4 points ago

"I am well" and "I am doing well" have two different meanings. Granted that "I am doing well" has two meanings, one of them the same as "I am well" CONTEXT PEOPLE!!

[–]clemensschein 0 points1 point ago

Wait ... really? I always thought am, is, are etc. were linking verbs and therefore, as opposed to other verbs, required the use of an adjective instead of an adverb to further describe it. I might be wrong on that of course, but isn't, "I am good," perfectly correct grammar? Someone please enlighten me!

[–]anudeglory 0 points1 point ago

It is but the context is entirely wrong, since whether you are good or not is a subjective based position decided by another person, unless you are arrogant enough to assume you are good. Good is not in the meaning of well but entirely in its opposite of bad. There is some degree of difference between American English (AmE) and British English (BrE) and their use of adverbs and adjectives. So neither should be considered "wrong" only different.

This blog is very good at explaining the differences between AmE and BrE - http://separatedbyacommonlanguage.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/sick-and-ill.html

You are correct, "I am good" is perfectly fine to use.

[–]lonko 0 points1 point ago

ok, I've seen this scene posted a few times and I don't know if it's because I'm not a native english speaker or if it is simply because I'm retarded, but I don't get it. Can anyone explain it to me?

[–]revrend_ 0 points1 point ago

I admit that you're doing well at re-hashing bullshit on reddit.

[–]WellandOne 0 points1 point ago
