OP (Forgive me if this is the wrong place for this, this is my first time posting)
If I say, "I am going to the store", what is the "I" in that sentence? It's a pronoun referring to the proper noun Ryan King.
If I say, "Ryan is going to the store", I'm an illeist.
If I say, "Ryan am going to the store", I'm actually still referring to myself in the first person, but just not using the pronoun.
Has anyone heard of this being used? It seems to make more sense than the redundant, "I, Ryan, am going to the store".
- Ryan King
