WELL, 'ME AT THE LAKE' IS NOT A SENTENCE, YO. IT IS A FRAGMENT. YOU COULD SAY 'ME AT THE LAKE', BECAUSE PEOPLE SAY THAT, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S GRAMMATICALLY COHERENT. THERE IS NO VERB, AND THE USAGE OF 'ME' OR 'I' TOTALLY DEPENDS ON A VERB.

WELL, THAT IS WHAT IS MOST COMMONLY SAID, YO. LIKE IT IS COMMON USAGE AND HAS THUS BECOME ACCEPTED. BUT STRICTLY SPEAKING, THE CORRECT GRAMMATICAL TERMS IS 'THIS IS I AT THE LAKE'. BUT BECAUSE NO ONE USES IT, IT SOUNDS FUNNY! BUT, YOU SEE, THE VERB 'TO BE' IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER VERBS. GOSH, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT YOU CALL IT. LET ME CHECK, YO.... AH YES. IT IS A COPULAR VERB. SAME WITH 'TO BECOME'. SO IT TAKES A COMPLEMENT RATHER THAN AN OBJECT.

SEE, WHEN YOU SAY 'I KISSED MY BOIF', YOUR BOIF IS THE OBJECT, BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING YOU ARE DOING TO YOUR BOIF - SO THAT WOULD BE SHORTENED TO 'I KISSED HIM' RATHER THAN 'I KISSED HE'. BUT WITH 'THIS IS I', IT IS DIFFERENT. 'THIS' AND 'I' ARE THE SAME THING. THE THIS IS NOT DOING SOMETHING TO THE I. SAME WITH 'SHE IS A DOCTOR', 'HE IS HAPPY' - IN THESE SENTENCES, 'A DOCTOR' AND 'HAPPY' ARE NOT THE OBJECT, BUT COMPLEMENTS. SO THEY WOULD BE GRAMMATICALLY ANALYSED DIFFERENTLY FROM, SAY, 'HE KICKED THE BALL'. AND WHEN CHILDREN LEARN LANGUAGE, COPULAR VERBS TEND TO BE MASTERED LATER IN THEIR LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT THAN VERBS LIKE 'KISS' AND 'KICK'.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE, YO? LIKE, 'THIS IS ME' IS TOTALLY GENERALLY ACCEPTED BECAUSE IT IS MOST COMMONLY USED, AT LEAST IN INFORMAL USAGE. JUST LIKE IT'S GENERALLY ACCEPTED THAT YOU CAN SAY 'WHO' FOR BOTH 'WHO' AND 'WHOM' - LIKE, 'WHOM' IS NO LONGER NECESSARY EXCEPT IN FORMAL USAGE. IT'S ONE OF THOSE TRADITIONALLY CORRECT THINGS THAT NO ONE BOTHERS ABOUT, AND WHICH THEREFORE SOUND STUFFY AND PEDANTIC.

GOSH, WIKIPEDIA HAS AN ARTICLE ON IT, YO. WITH THIS DELIGHTFUL QUOTE FROM 'THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE: "'Come out, Mrs. Beaver. Come out, Sons and Daughters of Adam. It's all right! It isn't Her!' This was bad grammar of course, but that is how beavers talk when they are excited." HAHA - I DO LOVE C. S. LEWIS, YO!

You clearly haven't been at Bloop very long. The best thing for you to do is to shut up and pay attention.

Shut up and pay attention to what? people looking for help and our being attacked by their god damn grammar? Clearly they are looking for advice. Not grammar lessons.

Then you should know how to tell if someone is being serious and looking for drama. Which you obviously don't.

It's obvious to the majority of the people reading this thread. Just not you.

Goodnight.

Your first sentence is a run-on. Put a comma after the word "yeah" and a period after the word "have." "Bloop" is a proper noun, and the B should be capitalized. "I" is also a proper noun.

There should be a comma after your "Ummmm" but that can be debated. You forgot your apostrophe in the word "can't."

You didn't capitalize "people" in the start of your second sentence. Your second and fourth sentences are fragments that you should consider revising.
