00Please get these to me before the end of the day, as I am out of the office all day tomorrow and need them before Thursday.02br

00John is very happy for you, as am I.02br

00So both work, depending on your use.0-

0My apologies. I intended for the term to be at the end of a sentence. It seems in England that it's pot luck which term is used. 0-

10Hi Barb,02br
00wouldn't it be ok to say "as I am" in that sentence? I think I am confused... because I would say "and so am I", which I am sure it's common, but I don't know much about the other ways to say that yet. 0-

00John is very happy for you, as I am02br
00I cannot see anything wrong with either, although I would probably use, "as am I" 02br
00I would probably add either 01b00too02b00 or 01b00also02b00 after "as I am" 0-

10I see, then I'm confusing that structure with another one which is supposed to be more common. Maybe "...like I am"? John was happy, like her mother was. She is satisfied, like I am.
